Change in Self-Reported Health with Retirement.

Ekerdt, David J.; Bosse, Raymond

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v15 n3 p213-23 1982

Examined the possibility that retirement contributed to decline in self-reported health. Within-individual changes in self-reported health for retirees were compared with changes among 386 age peers who continued to work. Eventual retirees had no greater age-adjusted incidence of health decline than did continuing workers. (Author)
