Early Retirement Doesn't Help One Live Longer, a Study Shows
Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Early retirement doesn't help workers live longer, and it may even shorten one's life, according to a study published today by the British Medical Journal.
The life expectancy of employees who retired at 55 was significantly reduced compared with those who retired at the age of 65, said Shan Tsai of Shell Health Services in Houston, who studied more than 3,500 former workers at Royal Dutch Shell Plc between January 1973 and December 2003.
