Citation Baxter S, Blank L, Johnson M, Everson-Hock E, Woods HB, Goyder E, Payne N, Mountain G. Interventions to promote or maintain physical activity during and after the transition to retirement: an evidence synthesis. Public Health Research 2016; 4(4) Authors' objectives We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-synthesis of the types and effectiveness of interventions to increase physical activity among people around the time of retirement. We also aimed to identify factors that may underpin the effectiveness or acceptability of interventions, and how issues of health inequalities may be addressed. Authors' conclusions Although the retirement transition is considered a significant point of life change, only a small volume of literature has reported interventions specifically in this period. The included literature suggests that interventions should take account of views and preferences of the target population and evaluate effectiveness by measuring meaningful outcomes and using a control group design.
