This paper analyzes the effect of retirement on health behaviors using three nationally representative U.S. datasets. Findings show a decrease in drinking at the intensive margin, particularly for males. Individuals change their composition of exercise behaviors upon retirement, with varying effects of retirement depending on exercise intensity and gender. Dining patterns also change, with changes in eating out among men and more time spent on food preparation. Finally, although retirement increases time spent watching TV and movies as well as time spent sleeping, it reduces overall sedentary time.
本文使用三个具有代表性的美国数据集分析了退休对健康行为的影响。研究结果表明，饮酒量在密集边际上有所减少，特别是对男性而言。个体在退休后会改变锻炼行为的构成，而退休对不同锻炼强度和性别的影响也有所不同。饮食习惯也发生了变化，男性外出就餐的次数减少，而花在准备食物上的时间增多。最后，尽管退休会增加看电视和电影的时间以及睡眠时间，但它会减少总的久坐时间。
