With increasing retirement ages, older workers are working longer while being newly diagnosed with chronic health conditions (CHCs). Our knowledge on how newly diagnosed CHCs influence older workers' vitality and worries is limited. We examine how four newly diagnosed CHCs affect older workers' vitality and worries about physical and mental functional ability. We used data from a Dutch pension panel survey. A sample of 1,894 older workers (60-62 years) was analyzed using conditional change OLS regression models. Having CHCs decreased vitality and increased worries. This effect was worse for older workers newly diagnosed with CHCs. Being newly diagnosed with physically disabling conditions increased worries about physical functioning, while being newly diagnosed with mentally disabling conditions increased worries about mental functioning. These findings aid the identification of vulnerable groups of older workers, thereby informing interventions that could improve quality of life, while promoting healthy aging at work.
随着退休年龄的不断提高，越来越多的老年工人在被诊断出患有慢性健康状况（CHCs）的同时延长了工作时间。我们对新诊断出的 CHCs 如何影响老年工人的活力和对身体和精神功能能力的担忧知之甚少。我们研究了四种新诊断的 CHCs 如何影响老年工人的活力和对身体和精神功能能力的担忧。我们使用了荷兰养老金面板调查的数据。使用条件变化 OLS 回归模型对 1894 名老年工人（60-62 岁）进行了分析。患有 CHCs 会降低活力并增加担忧。对于新诊断出患有 CHCs 的老年工人来说，这种影响更为严重。新诊断出的身体残疾状况会增加对身体功能的担忧，而新诊断出的精神残疾状况会增加对精神功能的担忧。这些发现有助于确定易受伤害的老年工人群体，从而为改善生活质量和促进工作中的健康老龄化提供干预措施。
