Retirement is good for health?
A study of French workers showed that the frequency of sleep disturbance decreased significantly just after the retreat of 24.2% in the year preceding retirement, their frequency increased to 17.8% immediately after. The decrease in sleep disorders was even higher in some groups:
* Those who retired before suffering from depression aion kinah or mental fatigue
* Men and frameworks
* People who worked in positions of high psychological demands, and those who work occasionally or regularly at night.
But further work is better for health than retire
But a U.S. study has different different results. These researchers compared the health of people working after retirement and that of those who stop all work. Result: health, and in particular mental health, is best when it maintains an occupation. There were fewer major diseases and improved daily functioning in individuals who remained active.
So retirement is good for health?
In reality, the contradiction is not as important as it may seem. Indeed, in the U.S. study the health benefits to continue working after retirement were felt only by people who continued to work in the same environment as before. In other words, the authors argue, among people who chose to continue because their areas of interest. Not those who were forced to work because they could not stop as they wanted. Similarly, the study conducted in France involved persons who had a comfortable and happy retirement. The disappearance of the stress of work was not compensated by the onset of stress due to financial difficulties.
