Retiring after age 65 may help people live longer, says a study published online in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health. The risk of dying from any cause over the study period was 11% lower among people who delayed retirement for one year—until age 66—and fell further among people who retired between the ages of 66 and 72, the study found.
Even workers who retired for health reasons had a lower risk of dying, compared with those leaving work at 65.
The benefits of remaining in the workforce occurred irrespective of gender, lifestyle, education, income and occupation, the analysis showed.
Postponing retirement may delay the natural age-related decline in physical, cognitive and mental functioning, reducing the risk of chronic illness, the study suggests. Mandatory retirement in the U.S. was abolished in 1986 except in certain professions, such as airline pilots and judges.
Researchers at Oregon State University analyzed data from 2,956 people who were employed at the start of a larger study in 1992 and fully retired at its conclusion in 2010. Retirement age ranged from 55 to 77 years old. Of the subjects, 33% retired at age 66 or older, 12% at age 65 and 55% before 65. Just over a third cited health reasons for retiring.
To all the people wondering why hospital visits and prescription drugs are so expensive, the answer is far simpler than you might suppose: It's profitable for the medical system to keep people SICK!
In fact, I'm going on the record to state that unless we take the profit out of disease, we will never get health care costs under control. It's just too darned profitable for drug companies, cancer clinics, hospitals and doctors to keep the entire population trapped in a cycle of disease from which they can never escape.
In a new podcast you can hear at this link, I explain this profound point in great detail, revealing some solutions for how we can be a healthier society by eliminating the for-profit structure that currently dominates sickness and disease.If you want to get more information about health treatment visit our site
