abstract: 'Objectives While the health effects of retirement have been well
studied, existing findings remain inconclusive, and the mechanisms
underlying the linkage between retirement and health are unclear. Thus,
this study aimed to evaluate the effects of retirement on health and its
potential mediators. Methods Using a national household survey conducted
annually from 2004 to 2019 in Japan (the Japan Household Panel Survey),
we evaluated the effects of retirement among Japanese men aged 50 or
older on their health, in addition to other outcomes that could be
attributed to health changes associated with retirement (i.e., health
behaviors, psychological well-being, time use for unpaid activities, and
leisure activities). As outcomes are not measured every year, we
analyzed 5,794-10,682 person-year observations for 975-1,469 unique
individuals. To address the potential endogeneity of retirement, we
adopted an instrumental variable fixed-effects approach based on policy
changes in eligibility ages for employee pensions. Results We found that
retirement improved psychological well-being, exercise habits, and time
spent on unpaid work. The psychological benefits of retirement were no
longer observed for longer durations after retirement, whereas healthy
habits and unpaid activities continued. Moreover, health-related
improvements after retirement occurred mostly in the higher-income
group. Discussion Enhancement in personal quality of life owing to
increased leisure time and stress reduction from work in addition to
lifestyle changes may be key to understanding the health benefits of
retirement. Considering the mechanisms behind retirement-health
relationships and potential heterogeneous effects is essential for
healthy postretirement lives when increasing the retirement age.'
