Abstract
A thorough understanding of the relationship between ill health and retirementrequires the investigation of specific illnesses and mediating mechanisms. Weexamined the relationship between specific major and minor health conditions andwork status (retired-health, RH; retired-other, RO; or working, W) in a population- based (N = 3097) study of rural elderly persons. Lifetime history rates of majorconditions were typically highest among RHpersons, and differed little between ROand Wpersons. Mean number of major conditions was typically highest among RHpersons. RH was associated with poorer self-perceived health, physical functionalstatus, mood, and recall than were RO and W, which did not differfrom each other.RH was also associated with increased prevalence and number of minor conditionsamong women but not men. Thus RH is preferentially associated with specifiedmajor medical conditions, increased number of major and minor health conditions,and quantitative functional and psychological decrements.
