Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Over the weekend, I came accross this article: Ephrem:
It contrasts sharply with the many reports (often based on anecdotal evidence) that conclude that people who work longer live longer.
As with the studies going the other way, there is still a substantial lack of clarity on the question of why early retiriees live longer (or not, as the case may be). I'm far from convinced that the retire early/work longer is determinative - other factors are (I think) also highly relevant: underlying health issues, mental fitness, physical fitness, social connections, diet, access to health care, family genetics (and probably a few more).
Does anyone know of any studies that manage to isolate the retire early/work longer effect on longevity from other factors?
