Although retirement age is increasing in aging societies, its impact on individuals and communities is unclear. This study examined how age moderates the linkage between transition into retirement and participation in productive and non-productive social activities after retirement, using a nationwide longitudinal survey with a probability sample of Japanese aged 60 and over ( = 3,493). Multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed to predict changes in volunteering and hobbies/learning during 3-5 years of follow-up and their participation level at the follow-up. The significant interactions between change in work status (remained working as reference, full/partial retirement, remained not-working) and age at baseline showed that fully retired persons were more likely to increase these activities than remained workers only when they retired by their early seventies. Thus it is important to encourage engagement in social activities before retirement and remove psychological and environmental barriers that hinder starting new activities at old age.
尽管在老龄化社会中退休年龄在不断提高，但其对个人和社区的影响尚不清楚。本研究利用一项针对60岁及以上日本老年人的全国性纵向概率抽样调查（n = 3493），考察了年龄如何调节退休过渡与退休后参与生产性和非生产性社会活动之间的联系。进行多项逻辑回归分析，以预测随访3至5年期间志愿服务和爱好/学习的变化及其在随访时的参与水平。工作状态变化（以仍在工作为参照，完全/部分退休，仍未工作）与基线年龄之间的显著交互作用表明，只有在70岁出头退休的完全退休人员比仍在职人员更有可能增加这些活动。因此，鼓励退休前参与社会活动并消除阻碍老年人开展新活动的心理和环境障碍非常重要。
