Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study shows that individuals those who had engaged in exercise (light or medium intensity) or had participated in house chores do not experience significant health decline after retirement, however, those who had not engaged in exercise or had not participated in house chores experience significant health decline after retirement. These results suggest that lifestyle prior to retirement is an important factor to determine the effect of retirement on health. However, this study also shows that individuals those who had engaged in social and leisure activities experience more health decline after retirement compared to those who had not. This indicates that further investigation is needed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

引退が高齢者の健康状態に与える影響については一致した見解が得られておらず、本研究はその原因として引退前の生活習慣という視点から影響の不均一性を考慮し、引退に多様な効果があることを明らかにした。特に、運動習慣だけでなく家事参加など、一見、健康とは関係が薄いように見える要因も、引退が健康に与える影響を変える可能性があり、そうした面からも高齢者の健康を改善させることができることを示したことには、一定の学術的・社会的意義があると考えられる。
