Retired or not?
Is retirement harmful to your health?
It’s an interesting question in light of a new study that finds senior citizens who work are in better health than their counterparts who don’t.
Researchers from the University of Miami examined data on more than 83,000 Americans. All of them were at least 65 years old. 1. The majority of these workers ―61 percent―held white collar positions.
Compared to people with white-collar jobs, those who were unemployed or retired were 2.75 times more likely to report their health as “poor” or “fair.”
2. For example, the survey included information on serious conditions like cancer and heart disease. Compared to those with white-collar jobs, those who were unemployed or retired were 49 percent more likely to have a history of at least two of these health problems.
Finally, interviewers asked whether people needed any assistance or special equipment to do things like stand, walk or climb stairs. 3. .
“Being unemployed or retired was associated with the greatest risk of poor health across all health status measures. 4. ”, the study authors concluded.
The results don’t show that working past retirement age is what made senior citizens with jobs healthier than their non-working neighbors. 5. This also makes them sad.
Still understanding the health benefits connected with working past age 65 could motivate business to find ways to hire older workers even if they have some limitations, researchers wrote.
A. People were amazed at the results.
B. Older Americans with jobs also ranked higher on health.
C. 13 percent of them were still working part time or full time.
D. Even after controlling for smoking, people still can’t be healthy.
E. Most retired Americans are reported to be unhealthy for some reason.
F. Retired seniors were 88 percent more likely than white-collar workers to have limitations.
G. Indeed, the authors stated that health problems force some people to drop out of the work.
