Working unlikely to send you to an early grave
4th May 2016
Early retirement is associated with premature death no matter how healthy or unhealthy a person is.
A population-based longitudinal study of almost 3000 Americans shows that early retirement may be a risk factor for mortality. This suggests prolonging working life may have survival benefits.
Study participants were divided into unhealthy and healthy retirees based on whether ill-health influenced their decision to stop work.
