“…The results of the present study show that the subjective dimensions of retirement, whether recent or of longer standing, are also important for understanding the more or less successful adjustment to retirement and its impact on the mental health and wellbeing of retirees. These same dimensions have also shown their impact on cognitive functioning of the same cohort (Grotz et al 2017). From this better understanding of the psychological and adjustment processes underpinning the transition to retirement, policy implications might arise.…”

This article investigates the relationship between psycho-social transition to retirement on the wellbeing and mental health of retired farmers through their adjustment to retired life. The sample was taken from the Approche Multidisciplinaire Intégrée cohort, a French prospective study of retired farmers living in rural areas in south-western France. Cross-sectional analyses were conducted on a sample of 530 participants. The wellbeing and mental health of retirees were investigated through three outcomes: satisfaction with current life, perceived health and depression. Multiple mediator models show that the more retirees consider retirement as a positive event, the better they adapt to the new temporality of their retirement life and the more they feel satisfied with their current life, healthy and less depressed. Acceptance of the end of working life is also a mediator in the perceived health model. These results highlight the centrality of the adjustment to the new temporality induced by retirement. They indicate that the level of this adjustment is linked to how retirement is affectively experienced, regardless of its duration.

“…Three variables are reported as related to better cognitive performance in retirees: positive consideration of former work situation, development of new activities during retirement, and good adaptation to free time. 21 An interaction effect has been described between retirement transition and age on daily stressors. 22 From the economical viewpoint and policies that follow, the concept of retirement is a loss of human resources and potential financial burden to society.…”

“…interaction with friends, providing informal help) are important means that retirees might seek to maintain continuity and a sense of belonging after retirement, 20 especially when their relationships with former colleagues and work-related activities are largely diminished. 21,22 As most existing studies on the contribution of social participation to retirement adjustment were based on cross-sectional designs, they provided limited insights into the changing patterns of social participation and their impacts on well-being outcomes over retirement. 23 Addressing this gap will help to clarify the predictive utilization of changing social resources for well-being outcomes over retirement.…”

Aim Social participation is an important social resource over retirement, but little is known about how changing social participation might affect mental health over retirement. This study examined the impact of retirement status, changes in social participation and their interactions on subsequent depressive symptoms over a 4‐year period. Methods Data were obtained from the first three waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey. The analytical sample included 2364 individuals with different retirement statuses (remained retired, transitioned to retirement, remained working). Generalized estimating equations were used to examine the impact of retirement status, changes in social participation and their interactions on depressive symptoms. Results Compared with those who remained working, individuals who remained retired reported reduced depressive symptoms (β = −0.64, 95% CI −1.23 to −0.05); individuals who transitioned to retirement reported elevated depressive symptoms (β = 0.74, 95% CI 0.07 to 1.41). Relative to those who reported no participation over the study, individuals who maintained or increased social participation reported reduced depressive symptoms (β = −1.12, 95% CI −1.67 to −0.56; β = −1.03, 95% CI −1.90 to −0.17); individuals who decreased social participation reported elevated depressive symptoms (β = 0.70, 95% CI 0.13–1.28). Individuals with decreased social participation were more influenced by the negative impact of transition to retirement on depressive symptoms (β = 1.93, 95% CI 0.12–3.74). Conclusion These results highlighted the time‐varying effects of retirement on mental health, and continued social participation acting as an adaptive strategy to protect against depressive symptoms over time.
