Frank Caro and colleagues' foundational work set the stage for a broad and multifaceted productive aging (PA) literature. Recent PA research has focused on health benefits associated with work and volunteering, respectively. However, these activities are often assumed to have independent associations with health and wellbeing. Less clear is whether and in what ways older adults participate in productive engagement lifestyles including multiple activities over a long period of time. This paper uses latent class analyses and the Health and Retirement Study to examine combined engagement in work and volunteer activities over 12 years between ages 56-68 to (1) identify patterns of work and volunteer activities across the retirement transition, (2) evaluate characteristics of individuals within these patterns, and (3) explore whether particular patterns are associated with markers of health and wellbeing. We describe how our findings inform successful aging by incentivizing socially and individually beneficial PA lifestyles.
弗兰克·卡罗（Frank Caro）及其同事的开创性工作为广泛而多方面的生产性老龄化（PA）文献奠定了基础。最近的 PA 研究分别侧重于与工作和志愿服务相关的健康益处。然而，这些活动通常被认为与健康和幸福具有独立的关联。不太清楚的是，老年人是否以及以何种方式参与生产性参与的生活方式，包括在很长一段时间内进行多种活动。本文使用潜在类别分析和健康与退休研究，在 56-68 岁之间的退休过渡期内，研究了工作和志愿活动的综合参与情况 12 年，以（1）确定工作和志愿活动在退休过渡期的模式，（2）评估这些模式中的个体特征，以及（3）探讨特定模式是否与健康和幸福的标志相关。我们通过激励对社会和个人有益的 PA 生活方式，描述了我们的研究结果如何为成功老龄化提供信息。
