Background: Among older adults, life satisfaction (LS) correlates with health, mortality, and successful ageing. As various potential threats to LS tend to increase with advancing years, patterns of age-related changes in LS among older adults remain inconsistent. This study aimed to identify LS trajectories in older adults and the characteristics of individuals who experience them.

- - The study aimed to explore predictors of life satisfaction (LS) among older adults in South Korea, using data from the Korean Retirement and Income Study (KReIS), and assessed LS in areas like health, economic status, and relationships over time.
- - A total of 3531 participants aged 65 and older were analyzed, revealing that factors such as physical and mental health, marital status, and living environment significantly influenced satisfaction across different domains—particularly for economic and housing satisfaction.
