“…The relation between poor health and disability benefit is not surprising since a declined health is one of the essential requirements for receiving such a benefit. Furthermore, our results corroborate findings from previous research (1,(7)(8)(9). Various studies have reported a relation between poor health and the exit route of unemployment (eg, 41, 42).…”

“…Respiratory symptoms, such as shortness of breath, are also reported as risk factors for early retirement 19) . Recently, a systemic meta-analysis 20) showed that the pooled relative risks (95% CI) of early retirement were 1.10 (0.99−1.21) for chronic disease, but the authors of that study did not elucidate the effect of particular chronic diseases, such as cardio-and cerebrovascular diseases. Our results enhance this evidence, as we show that hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and malignancy are related to the risk of early retirement.…”

sion, diabetes, malignancy, arthritis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, smoking, and obesity increased the risk of ERdHP. To enhance the sustainability of labor in an aging society, more studies on ERdHP are needed. (J Occup Health 2015; 57: 28-38) Key words: Aging, Cox proportional hazard model, Early retirement, Gender, Korean longitudinal data Involuntary early retirement is a serious financial concern for workers and their families 1) . Beyond the individual level, early retirement contributes to social problems. Because most industrialized countries have an increased life expectancy and reduced birth rates, social concern has developed with regard to increasing labor force participation and decreasing involuntary retirement 2) . Various studies have indicated that worker retired early due to illness even though they needed to work to maintain their economic lives 3) . Illness also affects restarting work participation after retirement in old age 4) . Some studies have shown that chronic disease affects early retirement 4) . Furthermore, studies that used self-perceived health status to investigate the effect of illness on early retirement 5) suggest that selfperceived health is a very important factor in the retirement process 6) . In addition, it is important to identify specific diseases related to early retirement in order to reduce the risk of early retirement. For example, workers with psychological diseases such as depression show higher job turnover, low productivity, and eventually high retirement rates 7) . Lower physical functioning, working error, and limitations at work are predictors of early retirement, and these factors are linked to musculoskeletal disorder 8) . Nevertheless, few The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of illness and unhealthy behavior on early retirement due to health problems (ERdHP) using Korean longitudinal data. Methods: This study used data collected from 3,508 subjects enrolled in the first to fourth phases of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA). This study was conducted from 2006 to 2012 using structured questionnaires on retirement, morbidities, and health-related behaviors. We adopted the Cox proportional hazard model to investigate the effects of diagnosed disease and health-related behaviors on ERdHP. Results: Participants who smoked, were obese, or suffered from hypertension, diabetes, malignancy, heart disease, stroke, or arthritis had a significantly higher risk of health-related early retirement after adjustment for gender, age, and occupation. Further, risk factors such as lack of exercise, stroke, arthritis, obesity, and malignancy differentially affect early retirement by gender. Conclusions: This is the first study, that we are aware of, to examine the effect of illness and unhealthy behavior on ERdHP in Asia, using Korean longitudinal data. We found that hyperten-

“…Economic factors have been found to play a major role (2) and empirical evidence suggests that poor health causes workers to retire earlier (3)(4)(5). However, a recent systematic review of 29 studies conclude that self-reported health, chronic disease and mental health plays a marginal role for early retirement when not granted on health grounds (6). Qualitative studies have indicated that retirement decisions are affected by major life events like illness or death in the immediate social circle (7) and other social circumstances, especially a retiring spouse (8,9).…”

Organizational change, psychosocial work environment, and non-disability early retirement: a prospective study among senior public employees by Breinegaard N, Jensen JH, Bonde JP To date, this is the most exhaustive study to examine voluntary early retirement behavior among senior public service employees exposed to organizational change and subsequent assessment of the psychosocial work environment on the work-unit level. Decision-makers should consider the impact of organizational change and the psychosocial work environment in strategies to maintain senior public employees in the labor market. Original article Scand J Work Environ Health. 2017;43(3):234-240. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3624 Organizational change, psychosocial work environment, and non-disability early retirement: a prospective study among senior public employees Objective This study examines the impact of organizational change and psychosocial work environment on non-disability early retirement among senior public service employees. AffiliationMethods In January and February 2011, Danish senior public service employees aged 58-64 years (N=3254) from the Capital Region of Denmark responded to a survey assessing psychosocial work environment (ie, social capital, organizational justice, and quality of management). Work-unit organizational changes (ie, change of management, merging, demerging, and relocation) were recorded from January 2009 to March 2011. Weekly data on non-disability early retirement transfer were obtained from the DREAM register database, which holds weekly information about all public benefit payments in Denmark. Hazard ratios (HR) for early retirement following employees' 60 th birthday were estimated with Cox regression adjusted for age, gender, and socioeconomic status. Conclusion Organizational change and poor psychosocial work environment contribute to non-disability early retirement among senior public service employees, measured at work-unit level. Results
