Education = lower or higher. Profession = manual or mental. Partner = having a partner irrespectively an official marital status. Living = living in an apartment or a house by oneself, without co-inhabitants. Pace (score 2–8; Likert-like scale, higher score for more hectic) = subjective level of time-demand at work and in life before retirement. Past = before retirement. Activities (score 0–9; yes/no for each) = number of regularly performed activities. GDS15 = Geriatric Depression Scale – 15 score. Impediments (score 7–35; Likert-like scale for each) = composed of subjective health status, current pain, sleeping problems, negative life events with emotional impact, mental health, anxiety for economic reasons, low-income objective problems. r = Pearson correlation; η2 = eta squared – univariate ANOVA, effect size. CS, composite scores. + = scores, which were logarithmically transformed for the analyses (ln) and then back-transformed. p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p ≤ 0.001.
