Abstract

Objective

To investigate the impact of retirement on marital satisfaction by gender on Koreans aged >45 years in a large, nationally representative cohort.

Methods

Retirement status and marital satisfaction data of 5867 individuals were analysed. Marital dissatisfaction was defined as a satisfaction score reduction of more than 10 points versus the previous wave. Lagged generalised estimating equation (GEE) models adjusted for demographics (age, sex, education level and household income), health-related habits (smoking and drinking status) and comorbidities (obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and depression and frailty) were used to confirm the relationship between retirement and marital dissatisfaction.

Results

The final GEE model adjusted for covariates revealed sex-specific differences in marital satisfaction after retirement. Whereas male retirees reported higher satisfaction than non-retired men, female retiree responses revealed lower satisfaction than non-retired women. Furthermore, these trends were consistent regardless of the time elapsed after retirement.

Conclusions

Marital satisfaction should be screened in women during the transition to retirement.

退休对婚姻满意度影响的性别差异：来自韩国老年人纵向研究的证据。

目的在一个具有全国代表性的大型队列中，按性别调查 45 岁以上韩国人退休对婚姻满意度的影响：分析了 5867 人的退休状况和婚姻满意度数据。婚姻不满意度的定义是满意度得分与上一次相比下降超过 10 分。采用滞后广义估计方程（GEE）模型，对人口统计学（年龄、性别、教育水平和家庭收入）、健康相关习惯（吸烟和饮酒状况）和合并症（肥胖、高血压、2 型糖尿病、抑郁和虚弱）进行调整，以确认退休与婚姻不满意度之间的关系：根据协变量调整的最终 GEE 模型显示，退休后的婚姻满意度存在性别差异。男性退休人员的满意度高于非退休男性，而女性退休人员的满意度则低于非退休女性。此外，无论退休时间长短，这些趋势都是一致的：结论：在向退休过渡期间，应对女性的婚姻满意度进行筛查。
