As part of a study of the morbidity of a group of workers made redundant from a meat products factory, the health of employees nearing retirement has been investigated. Consultations, episodes of illness and referrals to and attendances at hospital outpatient departments were recorded annually as the indices of morbidity. With the threat of redundancy a significant increase in morbidity was noted for the male employees but not for the female employees. It is suggested that these men adapt less easily to redundancy than the women.
作为对一家肉类制品厂一批被裁员工发病率研究的一部分，对临近退休的员工健康状况进行了调查。每年记录咨询情况、发病次数以及转介至医院门诊部和到医院门诊部就诊的情况，以此作为发病率指标。在面临裁员威胁时，男性员工的发病率显著上升，而女性员工则没有。研究表明，这些男性比女性更难适应裁员。
