Many people view retirement as a time to stop working. But new research shows that people who take on full-or part-time jobs after retirement have better health.
The finding is based on data collected from 12,189 men and women over a 6-year period. The participants, who were from ages 51 to 61 at the start of the study, answered questions about their employment history, experiences after retirement and their physical and mental health. Researchers from the University of Maryland found that men and women who kept working after retirement had fewer major diseases or disabilities than those who quit work, according to the study. Retirees benefited whether the work was a full-or-part-time job, self-employment or temporary.
While working after retirement is good for you, the data also suggest that retirees shouldn’t take on just any job. Among those who kept working, the retirees who found work related to their previous careers had the best mental health. The study authors speculated (猜测) that working outside a person’s main area of expertness might lead to more stress.
Other studies have also supported the idea that working after retirement is good for you. A long-term study of 1,000 men and women born in 1920 suggested that working after retirement was associated with living longer. The participants joined the study at age 70 and were tracked for 14 years by researchers from the Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus in Jerusalem.
After controlling for individuals’ health at the beginning of the study, the researchers found that whether a person was still alive after 12 years was strongly associated with whether they had been actively working or were fully retired. Among the 1,000 people studied, those who continued to work at age 70 and beyond were 2.5 times as likely to be alive at age 82 as those who had retired and were not working at" the beginning of the study.
Another study showed that losing a job at an older age can be destructive to health. Yale researchers followed 4,220 workers, ages 51 to 61, for 6 years. During the study period, 457 workers lost their jobs. Being laid off close to retirement increased the risk for stroke by three times, according to the study published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine. [br] What can be the best title for the passage?
选项
A、Working and Health.
B、For a Healthy Retirement, Keep Working.
C、Watch out Your Retirement.
D、Three Studies to Remind You of Your Health.
答案
B
解析
纵观全文,第一、二段提到一项研究成果:在退休后从事全职或兼职工作的人更健康;第三、四、五段建议退休者不要在退休后随便什么工作都做,从事与以前职业相关的工作的退休者的精神健康状况最好;最后一段从反面论证在年龄大时失去工作对于健康的毁灭性影响。全文都是围绕着“退休后的工作对人的健康有利以及需注意的问题”这一中心展开,B)项概括了文意。
