Early retirement does not help live long

Goodbye to work really takes a lot of time for grandchildren and entertainment, but this does not mean longevity is also prolonged.

" The life of a retiree from 55 or 60 years of age is no better than the one who waited 65 years to come back to the garden, " said pathologist Shan Tsai, who works for US-based Shell Oil.

Tsai's team found that retirees at the age of 60 or 65 lived equally well, but those who were retired from the age of 55 had higher mortality rates for a number of health reasons. About 3,500 people retired from 55, 60 or 65 years of age participating in the study. They are monitored for 26 years and the researchers' goal is to see if early retirement people live longer.

The result was unexpected, " the mortality rate turned out to be improved when the retirement age was higher, regardless of the high or low economic situation ," Tsai said. In the retirement group at age 55, the number of deaths was twice as high in the first 10 years after the break compared to those continuing with the job.
