This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).This study aimed to identify and characterize biopsychosocial factors that impact the purpose in life (PIL) among adults that are working or already retired. This cross-sectional study includes a sample of 1330 participants, of whom 62.2% were female, with ages ranging from 55 and 84 years, with a mean of 61.93 years and a standard deviation of 7.65. Results suggest that the education level, stress, spirituality (religion) and optimism, social support from friends, and quality of life related to physical health seem to contribute positively to the PIL for both groups. However, some variables such as age, marital status and environmental quality of life help explain the PIL of retired people and the quality of life related to social support helps explain the PIL of working adults. Overall, the reported findings suggest that the purpose in life is strongly related to physical, psychological, social and environmental health factors. It is highlighted that working adults and retired people have their purpose in life related to similar factors and others specific to each life stage, suggesting the need for crucial interventions to promote a healthier and more positive aging process.This research was funded by the Fundo Europeu de Desenvolvimento Regional (FEDER), Programa Interreg VA España-Portugal (POCTEP) 2014–2020, Instituto Internacional de Investigação e Inovação em Envelhecimento–Capitaliza, “0786_CAP4ie_4_P”.MDPIRepositório da Universidade de LisboaCoelho, AnabelaLopes, ManuelBarata, MartaSousa, SofiaGoes, MargaridaBia, FlorbelaDias, AnaJoão, AnaLusquinhos, LeonelOliveira, HenriqueGaspar, Tania2023-07-25T11:19:08Z20232023-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/58738engInt J Environ Res Public Health. 2023 Apr 10;20(8):54561661-782710.3390/ijerph20085456info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-08T17:07:37Zoai:repositorio.ul.pt:10451/58738Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:08:52.463264Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
