Association between midlife health behaviours and transitions out of employment from midlife to early old age: Whitehall II cohort study

摘要

BackgroundIt is important to determine whether unhealthy behaviours might influence transitions out of employment from midlife to old age, given the anticipated need for adults to work for longer. Our aim was to determine the association between repeated assessments of cigarette smoking, heavy/problem alcohol drinking, low physical activity and poor diet at midlife, in relation to work exit from midlife to old age.
