Retirement has been shown to impact individual health as an important life course, and we examined the impact of retirement on the prevalence of obesity in women based on a female perspective.
We use data from the five waves of the China Family Panel Study (CFPS) data from 2010 to 2018, with the body mass index (BMI) as the obesity measure. Fuzzy regression discontinuity design (FRDD) is used to overcome the endogeneity of retirement behavior and obesity.
After retirement, the obesity rate among women increased 23.8%-27.4% (p < 0.05). The mechanism is that the activity consumption has not changed significantly, but the energy intake has increased significantly. In addition, we found that the effect of retirement on female obesity was strong heterogeneity.
The study found that retirement will increase the probability of obesity in women.
退休作为人生的一个重要阶段,已被证明会影响个人健康。我们从女性视角研究了退休对女性肥胖患病率的影响。
我们使用了2010年至2018年中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)五轮数据,以体重指数(BMI)作为肥胖衡量指标。采用模糊回归断点设计(FRDD)来克服退休行为和肥胖的内生性。
退休后,女性肥胖率上升了23.8%-27.4%(p<0.05)。机制是活动消耗没有显著变化,但能量摄入显著增加。此外,我们发现退休对女性肥胖的影响存在很强的异质性。
研究发现退休会增加女性肥胖的概率。
