Abstract

This study examines the association between self-rated health (SRH) and chronic diseases on planned retirement age, and whether these relationships differ by race and ethnicity among adults 50 years and older in the US. Using the 2018 Health and Retirement Study (N = 3,161), linear regression models assessed associations and tested race as a moderator. The results showed that respondents with poorer SRH reported an earlier planned retirement age. Overall, chronic disease was not associated with planned retirement age for the sample. Rather, a higher number of chronic diseases was significantly associated with earlier planned retirement among Hispanic respondents and marginally associated among non-Hispanic Black respondents when compared to White respondents. Older adults who report being healthier plan to work longer than those reporting worse health. To support the aging workforce, chronic disease prevention efforts for Hispanic adults are crucial. Future research should examine how health impacts different industries' workforce.

慢性疾病、自评健康和计划退休年龄：种族和民族的调节作用。

本研究探讨了自评健康（SRH）和慢性疾病与计划退休年龄之间的关系，以及这些关系是否因美国50岁及以上成年人的种族和民族而异。利用2018年健康与退休研究（N = 3161），线性回归模型评估了相关性，并测试了种族作为调节因素。结果显示，性生活健康状况较差的受访者表示计划退休年龄较早。总体而言，慢性疾病与样本的计划退休年龄无关。相反，与白人受访者相比，西班牙裔受访者中慢性病数量较多与提前计划退休有显著关联，而非西班牙裔黑人受访者中慢性病数量较少。与那些健康状况较差的人相比，那些报告自己更健康的老年人计划工作更长时间。为了支持老龄化劳动力，西班牙裔成年人的慢性病预防工作至关重要。未来的研究应该考察健康如何影响不同行业的劳动力。

期刊介绍： Research on Aging is an interdisciplinary journal designed to reflect the expanding role of research in the field of social gerontology. Research on Aging exists to provide for publication of research in the broad range of disciplines concerned with aging. Scholars from the disciplines of sociology, geriatrics, history, psychology, anthropology, public health, economics, political science, criminal justice, and social work are encouraged to contribute articles to the journal. Emphasis will be on materials of broad scope and cross-disciplinary interest. Assessment of the current state of knowledge is as important as provision of an outlet for new knowledge, so critical and review articles are welcomed. Systematic attention to particular topics will also be featured.
