    Co-Authors: Sari Stenholm, Ville Aalto, Eira Viikari-juntura, Svetlana Solovieva, Mika Kivimaki, Jussi Vahtera
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND Retirement is a Major Life Transition affecting health behaviors. The aim of this study was to examine within-individual changes in body mass index (BMI) during Transition from full-time work to statutory retirement by sex and physical work characteristics. METHODS A multiwave cohort study repeated every 4 years and data linkage to records from retirement registers. Participants were 5426 Finnish public-sector employees who retired on a statutory basis in 2000-2011 and who reported their body weight one to three times prior to (w-3, w-2, w-1), and one to three times after (w+1, w+2, w+3) retirement. RESULTS During the 4-year retirement Transition (w+1, vs. w-1) men showed decline in BMI, which was most marked among men with sedentary work (-0.18 kg/m(2), 95% CI -.30 to -0.05). In contrast, BMI increased during retirement Transition in women and was most marked among women with diverse (0.14 kg/m(2), 95% CI 0.08 to 0.20) or physically heavy work (0.31 kg/m(2), 95% CI 0.16 to 0.45). Physical activity during leisure time or commuting to work, alcohol consumption or smoking did not explain the observed changes during retirement Transition. CONCLUSIONS In this study statutory retirement was associated with small changes in BMI. Weight loss was most visible in men retiring from sedentary jobs and weight gain in women retiring from diverse and physically heavy jobs.

  • Changes in use of time, activity patterns, and health and wellbeing across retirement: design and methods of the Life after work study
    BMC Public Health, 2013
    Co-Authors: Carol Maher, Judy A. Sprod, Nicola W. Burton, Wendy J. Brown, Jannique G.z. Van Uffelen, Tim S. Olds
    Abstract:

    Background Retirement is a Major Life Transition during which people restructure everyday activities; however little is known about this. The primary aim of the Life After Work study is to comprehensively measure changes in time use and patterns of physical activity and sedentary behaviour, and its associations with health and wellbeing, across the retirement Transition.

  • Changes in use of time, activity patterns, and health and wellbeing across retirement: Design and methods of the Life after work study
    BMC Public Health, 2013
    Co-Authors: Christopher A. Maher, Judy A. Sprod, Nicola W. Burton, Jannique G.z. Van Uffelen, Wendy J. Brown, Tim S. Olds
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND: Retirement is a Major Life Transition during which people restructure everyday activities; however little is known about this. The primary aim of the Life After Work study is to comprehensively measure changes in time use and patterns of physical activity and sedentary behaviour, and its associations with health and wellbeing, across the retirement Transition.\n\nMETHODS/DESIGN: A target sample of 120 participants aged 50 years and over will be recruited in two Australian state capital cities, Adelaide and Brisbane. Participants will undertake a battery of assessments approximately 3 months prior to retirement, and 3, 6 and 12 months post-retirement. Measures will include self-reported use of time (using the Multimedia Activity Recall for Children and Adults), objectively assessed physical activity and sedentary behaviour (using Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometers), self-reported health and well-being (using a battery of questionnaires including the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), Australian Unity Personal Well-being Index (AUPWI), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales 21 (DASS21), Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale), retirement circumstances and socio-demographic characteristics, objectively assessed anthropometric measures (height, weight and waist circumference), and resting blood pressure. Multivariate mixed models will be used to examine changes in use of time, health and well-being across retirement.\n\nDISCUSSION: The results will provide important new information that will inform the development of Lifestyle and policy interventions to address and improve health and well-being in retirement.
