Studies have shown that people who retire before the age of 60 have DOUBLE the mortality rate of those who retire after 60. And those who retire after 60 (but before 65) have a 27% greater chance of dying before reaching the age of 65!
We, as humans, are meant to be busy and active. When we “retire,” typically,we stop being active and our bodies just start shutting down.
Those who took up hobbies, volunteered, or at least maintained a part-time job were 80 more likely to make it to 65 years of age.
Coincidence?
All of these studies were based on death by the age of 65.
And that 80 in the second to last line should be 80%.
Do those studies take into account people who retire before 60, or before 65, because they already have serious health problems?
