Life satisfaction is a key indicator of successful ageing and reflects well-being. There is evidence of the association between life satisfaction and health behaviours among older adults. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis protocol seeks to determine the strength and direction of the association between life satisfaction and health behaviours among older adults.
This protocol followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols guidelines. We will search the electronic databases (MEDLINE, APA PsycINFO, Web of Science, CINAHL and Global Health) from inception to date. Only observational studies that described the association between life satisfaction and health behaviours-smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity, diet/nutrition and sleep-will be included. Two independent reviewers will conduct screening, data extraction and risk of bias assessment of the articles. The risk of bias will be assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools for cohort and analytical cross-sectional studies. Studies will be included in the meta-analysis if they report zero-order associations between life satisfaction and health behaviours; otherwise, a narrative synthesis will be presented.
This study does not require ethics approval, as it involves analysing secondary data from published studies. The completed review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at conferences.

生活满意度是成功老龄化的关键指标，反映了幸福感。有证据表明，生活满意度与老年人的健康行为之间存在关联。因此，本系统评价和荟萃分析方案旨在确定生活满意度与老年人健康行为之间关联的强度和方向。
本方案遵循系统评价和荟萃分析方案的首选报告项目指南。我们将从成立日期开始搜索电子数据库（MEDLINE、APA PsycINFO、Web of Science、CINAHL 和全球健康）。仅包括描述生活满意度与健康行为（吸烟、饮酒、身体活动、饮食/营养和睡眠）之间关联的观察性研究。两名独立的审查员将对文章进行筛选、数据提取和偏倚风险评估。使用 Joanna Briggs 研究所对队列和分析性横断面研究的批判性评估工具评估偏倚风险。如果研究报告生活满意度与健康行为之间存在零阶关联，则将其纳入荟萃分析；否则，将进行叙述性综合。
本研究不需要伦理批准，因为它涉及分析已发表研究的二次数据。完成的综述将发表在同行评议的期刊上，并在会议上展示。
