Abstract

Retirement is a major life transition that involves changes to everyday routines, roles, and habits. Previous studies suggest that retirement may influence drinking habits. Many natural inhibitors of alcohol consumption disappear with the removal of work constraints. The potential impact depends on both individual and contextual factors. Women in the cohorts undergoing retirement now have been more active on the labor market, including the occupation of higher status jobs, which indicates more financial resources as well as a larger role loss after retirement. Also, the current cohorts who retire have had more liberal drinking habits throughout their lives compared to previous cohorts. We therefore examined changes in alcohol consumption surrounding retirement in different education groups among women and men undergoing retirement using annual data from the Health, Aging and Retirement Transitions in Sweden (HEARTS) study, a longitudinal national study of 60- to 66-year-olds (n = 5,913), from 2015 to 2018. Latent growth curve models were used to estimate trajectories of alcohol consumption. Results showed that those who retired during the follow-up increased their usual weekly alcohol consumption while those who worked or were retired throughout the period had stable drinking habits. Those who were retired reported the highest alcohol consumption. The increase surrounding retirement was driven by people with higher education. Women with tertiary education and men with intermediate or tertiary education increased their weekly alcohol intake after retirement, while those with low education had unchanged drinking habits. Mechanisms and motivations that may fuel increased alcohol intake among people with higher education should be further investigated.
瑞典退休过渡期的酒精消费:基于教育的不同轨迹
退休是一个重大的人生转变,涉及到日常生活、角色和习惯的改变。先前的研究表明,退休可能会影响饮酒习惯。许多抑制酒精消费的天然因素随着工作限制的消除而消失。潜在的影响取决于个人和环境因素。现在,即将退休的女性在劳动力市场上更加活跃,包括从事地位较高的工作,这表明她们拥有更多的财务资源,但退休后的角色损失也更大。此外,与之前的人群相比,目前退休的人群一生中有更自由的饮酒习惯。因此,我们使用2015年至2018年瑞典健康、老龄化和退休过渡(HEARTS)研究的年度数据,研究了不同教育程度的退休女性和退休男性在退休前后饮酒的变化。HEARTS研究是一项针对60至66岁人群(n = 5913)的纵向国家研究。使用潜在增长曲线模型来估计酒精消费的轨迹。结果显示,那些在随访期间退休的人每周的饮酒量增加了,而那些在此期间工作或退休的人饮酒习惯稳定。退休人员的饮酒量最高。退休人数的增加是由受过高等教育的人推动的。受过高等教育的女性和受过中等或高等教育的男性退休后每周饮酒量增加,而受教育程度低的人饮酒习惯不变。高等教育人群酒精摄入量增加的机制和动机应进一步调查。
