尽管很大一部分退休人员回顾性地声称退休后健康状况有所改善，但退休有益于健康的概念在很大程度上尚未得到探索。尽管其中一些说法可能有医学依据，但退休人员更有可能认为，由于退休后角色要求的减少，他们的健康状况有所改善。使用前瞻性数据对声称退休对其健康有良好影响的男性 (n = 114) 和声称退休对健康没有影响的男性 (n = 149) 进行比较。结果显示，回顾性声称的良好效果并没有得到相应的纵向、退休前到退休后自我报告的健康改善的证实。退休后工作压力和角色要求减轻的男性更有可能声称有良好效果，从而支持这样的解释：这种说法代表了功能健康状况的改善。
The notion that retiring can benefit health has gone largely unexplored, though large proportions of retirees retrospectively claim improved health upon retirement. Although some of these claims may have a medical basis, it is more likely that retirees perceive that their health has improved due to the reduced role demands that may accompany retirement. Prospective data were used to compare men who claimed that retirement had a good effect on their health (n = 114) with men who claimed no effect of retirement on health (n = 149). Results showed that retrospective claims of good effects were not corroborated by a corresponding longitudinal, pre- to post-retirement improvement in self-reported health. Claims of good effects were more likely among men whose retirement entailed the reduction of prior job strain and role demands, thereby supporting the interpretation that such claims represent the enhancement of functional health status.
