Notes: I = intercept; S1 = rate of change up to retirement; S2 = rate of change after retirement.

aModel fit is significantly different from model 1 at p < .05; individual covariate contributes to LGCM.

bModel fit is significantly different from model 2a at p < .05; leisure covariate contributes after complexity of work with people.

cModel fit is significantly different from model 2b at p < .05; complexity of work with people contributes after leisure covariate.
