    Retirement may increase the risk of fatal coronary heart-disease (CHD). Men who retired had a higher risk of death from CHD compared to those who did not retire.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Occupational Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Coronary heart-disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide.
    • The impact of occupational factors, such as retirement, on cardiovascular health is an area of ongoing research.
    • Understanding risk factors for fatal CHD is crucial for public health interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between retirement and the risk of fatal coronary heart-disease (CHD).
    • To explore occupational history and other coronary risk factors in relation to CHD mortality.

    Main Methods:

    • A case-control study involving 568 married men who died of CHD and an equal number of matched controls.
    • Data collection included occupational history and coronary risk factors from the wives of the subjects.

  • Paired multiple-logistic regression analysis was used for risk estimation and adjustment.

    • Main Results:

    • The crude relative risk of fatal CHD for retired men compared to non-retirees was 2.9.
    • After adjusting for age and prior myocardial infarction, the relative risk of fatal CHD for retired men was 1.8.
    • Confidence intervals indicate a statistically significant association between retirement and fatal CHD.

    Conclusions:

    • Retirement is associated with an increased risk of fatal coronary heart-disease.
    • These findings suggest a potential link between the transition to retirement and subsequent coronary mortality.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this association.
