This study analyzes the dynamic association between retirement sequences and activities of daily living (ADLs) trajectories between ages 60 and 70.
Retirement sequences previously established for 7,880 older Americans from the Health and Retirement Study were used in hierarchical linear and propensity score full matching models, analyzing their association with ADL trajectories.
Sequences of partial retirement from full- or part-time jobs showed higher baseline and slower decline in ADL than sequences characterized by early labor force disengagement.
The conventional model in which people completely retire from a full-time job at normative ages and the widely promoted new conventional model of late retirement are both associated with better functioning than early labor force disengagement. But unconventional models, where older adults keep partially engaged with the labor force are also significantly associated with better functioning. These findings call attention to more research on potential avenues to simultaneously promote productive engagement and health later in life.
本研究分析了 60 至 70 岁期间退休顺序与日常生活活动(ADL)轨迹之间的动态关联。
使用健康与退休研究中为 7880 名美国老年人确定的退休顺序,在分层线性和倾向评分完全匹配模型中进行分析,以研究其与 ADL 轨迹的关联。
部分退休的顺序(从全职或兼职工作)比早期劳动力脱离的序列具有更高的基线和较慢的 ADL 下降。
在规范年龄完全从全职工作退休的传统模式和广泛提倡的延迟退休的新传统模式都与更好的功能相关,而不是早期的劳动力脱离。但非传统模式,即老年人部分参与劳动力,也与更好的功能显著相关。这些发现引起了人们对更多研究的关注,以寻找同时促进晚年生产性参与和健康的潜在途径。
