Neighborhood cohesion at all three stages is independently associated with a greater number of close friends and stronger perceived support. The association between childhood cohesion and contact frequency operates indirectly through midlife and late-life cohesion. Midlife and late-life cohesion are significantly linked to late-life friendship outcomes.

Using seven waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA), this study analyzed 6,165 adults aged 65 and older to assess how employment transitions affect frailty and whether these effects differ by gender. Frailty was measured using a 41-item index, and asymmetric fixed effects models were applied to distinguish the health impacts of entering versus exiting the workforce. Gender-stratified models showed a positive association between employment and frailty only among women. Notably, asymmetric models revealed that exiting the workforce was associated with reduced frailty for women, while entering the workforce was not significantly linked to increased frailty. Gender interaction models confirmed these findings. The results underscore the importance of considering gender and asymmetry in employment transitions and suggest policies supporting better working conditions for older women.</p>","PeriodicalId":47983,"journal":{"name":"Research on Aging","volume":" ","pages":"1640275261449787"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147822258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
