Many people view retirement as a time to stop working. But new research shows that people who take on full- or part-time jobs after retirement have better health. The finding is based on data collected from 12,189 men and women over a 6-year period. The participant.,;, who were from ages 51 to 61 at the start of the study, answered questions about their employment history, experiences after retirement and their physical and mental health. Researchers from the University of Maryland found that men and women who kept working after retirement had fewer major diseases or disabilities than those who quit work, according to the study. Retirees benefited whether the work was a full- or part-time job, self-employment or temporary. While working after retirement is good for you, the data also suggest that retirees shouldn’t take on just any job. Among those who kept working, the retirees who found work related to their previous careers had the best mental health. The study authors speculated (猜测) that working outside a person’s main area of expertness might lead to more stress. Other studies have also supported the idea that working after retirement is good for you. A long-term study of 1,000 men and women born in 1920 suggested that working after retirement was associated with living longer. The participants joined the study at age 70 and were tracked for 14 years by researchers from the Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus in Jerusalem. After controlling for individuals’ health at the beginning of the study, the researchers found that whether a person was still alive after 12 years was strongly associated with whether they had been actively working or were fully retired. Among the 1,000 people studied, those who continued to work at age 70 and beyond were 2.5 times as likely to be alive at age 82 as those who had retired and were not working at the beginning of the study. Another study showed that losing a job at an older age can be destructive to health. Yale researchers followed 4,220 workers, ages 51 to 61, for 6 years. During the study period,457 workers lost their jobs. Being laid off close to retirement increased the risk for stroke by three times, according to the study published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine.

Childhood obesity levels have stopped rising in many rich nations. Some claim it is proof that healthy-eating (67) are working,while others are (68) that it hides differences between rich and poor compatriots (同胞).

"We’ve never had so many obese people in the world, so the plateauing should not be a soothing (使人宽心) message." Still, it will be (75) some: Rokholm has found that levels of obesity are actually (76) in some countries, most (77) in Japan. Boys are getting marginally lighter in Denmark, too, with the (78) of overweight and obese girls declining (79) in England, from 20.5 per cent in 2002 to 19.4 per cent in 2007. These figures should not be taken at face value, (80) , argues Tim Cole at University College London. He says the overall flattening trend (81) the true picture. Cole’s analysis of 5-to 10-year-olds in England found that overall there was indeed a leveling (82) , but that rates between rich and poor were (83) " If you separate out the data, you see that trends are still upwards in lower socioeconomic groups, but down in higher socioeconomic groups, so they (84) each other out to give the overall plateau," he says. So it is also clear that deeper (85) is needed and that the battle against obesity is far (86) won.
