egories, defining categories and making conclusions by achieving a better
understanding of the issues and needs of older employees.

Results
Table 1 shows all references included in materials review. Using qualitative con-
tent analysis of the acquired materials, three categories with applicable codes
were identified (Table 2). The categories include: (1) The influence of rheumatic
disease on absenteeism; (2) The importance of lifelong learning for the applica-
tion of knowledge at work; (3) The measures for improving physical and mental
health in all periods of life. In the following stage of materials review, the cate-
gories were changed into subcategories and a single category was formed. This
category offers a comprehensive explanation of the purpose and objectives of
materials review (Table 2).
