AimExtending working life is considered as an important initiative to respond to the population aging and pension payment dilemma. This study aimed to investigate whether work after retirement is related to improved health‐related quality of life.MethodsWe used two waves of data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study in 2011 and 2018. Work after retirement was ascertained based on self‐reported retirement and work status, and health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) was measured with the three‐level EuroQol five‐dimensions. The impact of work after retirement on HRQOL was analyzed using the propensity score matching with difference‐in‐difference approach.ResultsA total of 1043 retirees were included. The results showed that work after retirement was associated with significant improvement in HRQOL among retirees (β = 0.072, P < 0.001). Heterogeneity analyses did not show specificity on sex (P for sex interaction >0.05), but older‐aged retirees seemed more sensitive to the benefits of work after retirement on HRQOL than their younger‐aged counterparts (≥65 years: β = 0.167, P < 0.001 vs <65 years: β = −0.047, P > 0.05; P for age interaction = 0.010).ConclusionsWork after retirement shows a positive impact on HRQOL among community‐dwelling adults in China. Policy‐makers should take the health of retirees into account when implementing policies related to delayed retirement, and reduce health inequity. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; ••: ••–••.

This investigation explored (1) correlations between midlife and older adults’ air quality perceptions with objective particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) and diesel PM, and (2) correlations between air quality perceptions with health-related attributions among a sample of midlife and older adults (n = 66) living in or around senior affordable public housing sites in California’s San Francisco Bay Area. The adapted air quality perception scale was used to measure perceptions of air quality, while health-related attributions were obtained from the vitality plus scale (VPS), with higher values indicating worse perceptions of air quality and poorer responses to health-related attributions, respectively. Self-reported data were linked to zip code level PM2.5 and diesel PM obtained from the CalEnviroScreen 4.0. All correlations were evaluated using Spearman’s rank correlations. The mean (SD) age was 70.6 (9.1) years, and 75.7% were female. We observed moderate, positive correlations between both PM2.5 and diesel PM with three domains: perceptions related to protection measures against air quality, emotional/mental perceptions, and sensorial perceptions. We also found evidence of moderate, positive correlations between the domains of physical symptoms, perceptions related to protection measures against air quality, and emotional/mental perceptions with health-related attributions, such as sleep-related items and feelings of restlessness or agitation. Results from this exploratory study suggest that midlife and older adults’ perceptions of air quality may be moderately related to both objective air quality data and certain health behaviors and symptoms. Findings underscore the importance of considering individual perceptions as an additional area in public health strategies aimed at protecting midlife and older adults from the impacts of air pollution.
