Abstract
This paper describes an epidemiologic study of the patterns and correlates of mortality around compulsory retirement (age 65) among U.S. rubber tire workers. Death rates were significantly decreased before retirement, and were elevated 3–4 years after retirement. Lower status workers were more likely to die within 3 years of retirement than higher status workers. Higher status workers were more predominant among deaths 4–5 years after retirement. Risks of dying were greater among men with a pre-retirement history of repeated non-medical absences. The findings are discussed with respect to stress, retirement adaptation, and longevity theories.
