Article Abstract
Background: This study investigates the role of physical work demands and psychosocial work factors for early retirement among older workers.
Methods: Data from three Danish surveys on work environment and health among employed older workers (age 55-59) were merged with a national register containing information on labour market participation. Robust Poisson regression modelled the risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between physical and psychosocial work factors and early retirement, that is, not working after the age of 64.
Results: Of the 2800 workers, 53% retired early. High physical work demands (RR 1.33, 95% CI 1.19-1.48), poor overall psychosocial working conditions (RR 1.43, 95% CI 1.26-1.61), and access to early retirement benefits (RR 1.79, 95% CI 1.53-2.10) predicted early retirement. Subgroup analyses revealed that poor overall psychosocial working conditions were a stronger predictor for early retirement among workers with seated jobs than those with physically active jobs.
Conclusions: High physical work demands and poor psychosocial working conditions are factors that can push older workers out of the labour market prematurely. Poor psychosocial working conditions seem to be a particularly strong push factor among workers with seated work.

Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant are at risk for significant morbidity and mortality throughout their treatment course. The aim of this evidence-based practice project was to determine if the use of a palliative care trigger tool impacted the number of palliative care consults and/or the early integration of palliative care services within the pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant patient population. A trigger tool was developed to identify patients at highest risk for stem cell transplant-associated morbidity and mortality.

Depression is associated with cognitive decline, but the causal nature of this association in early old age has not yet been established. We examined the impact of depressive symptoms on changes in cognitive function using data from 27,315 adults aged 50-65 in the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) followed for 8 years (2010/2011 -2017/2018), using fixed effect models. Results suggest that an increase in depressive symptoms is associated with a significant decline in overall cognitive function (β =-0.

Background: As South Korea experiences rapid population aging, preventing early retirement has become a critical concern. Ill health contributes to early retirement, and educational level moderates this relationship. Although well-studied in Europe, it remains less explored in Northeast Asia, where labor markets and educational attainment differ significantly.
