ABSTRACTWe know little about the retirement plans of adults with chronic diseases. This research recruited Canadian workers 50-67 years of age from a national panel of 80,000 individuals (arthritis, n = 631; diabetes, n = 286; both arthritis and diabetes, n = 111; no chronic disabling conditions, n = 538). A cross-sectional survey asked participants about their expected age of retirement, future work plans, whether they were retiring sooner than planned, and bridged retirement. Chi-square analyses, analyses of variance, and regression analyses examined expectations and factors associated with them. Despite health difficulties, workers with arthritis and diabetes had retirement plans similar to those of healthy controls and consistent with normative expectations of working to a traditional retirement age. However, more respondents with arthritis or diabetes reported bridged retirement than healthy controls. Contrary to predictions, health factors accounted for less of the variance in retirement expectations than other factors. These findings point to the complexity surrounding retirement expectations and highlight person-job fit rather than disease factors alone.
摘要 我们对患有慢性病的成年人的退休计划知之甚少。这项研究从一个由 80000 人组成的全国小组中招募了 50-67 岁的加拿大工人（关节炎，n=631；糖尿病，n=286；关节炎和糖尿病，n=111；无慢性致残疾病，n=538）。一项横断面调查询问参与者他们预期的退休年龄、未来的工作计划、是否比计划更早退休以及过渡退休的情况。卡方分析、方差分析和回归分析检验了期望及其相关因素。尽管存在健康问题，患有关节炎和糖尿病的工人的退休计划与健康对照组相似，符合传统退休年龄工作的规范期望。然而，与健康对照组相比，更多患有关节炎或糖尿病的受访者报告了过渡退休。与预测相反，健康因素在退休期望的方差中所占的比例小于其他因素。这些发现表明，退休期望很复杂，突出了人与工作的匹配，而不仅仅是疾病因素。
