We show that a new measure of cognitive decline, that can be computed in longitudinal surveys where respondents perform the same recall memory tests over the years, is highly predictive of the onset of dementia. Using SHARE data, we investigate the way retirement affects cognitive decline over time controlling for age, education and other confounding factors. We find that retirement has a long-term detrimental effect on cognition for individuals who retire at the statutory eligibility age. It plays instead a protective role for those who retire on an early retirement scheme.
我们表明，一种新的认知能力下降衡量标准，可在纵向调查中计算，这些调查中受访者多年来执行相同的回忆记忆测试，可高度预测痴呆症的发作。我们使用 SHARE 数据，研究了退休对认知衰退的影响，同时控制了年龄、教育和其他混杂因素。我们发现，对于那些在法定资格年龄退休的人来说，退休对认知能力具有长期的不利影响。但对于那些根据提前退休计划退休的人来说，退休则起到保护作用。
