Retirement as a predictor of physical functioning trajectories among older businessmen.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Associations between retirement characteristics and consequent physical functioning (PF) are poorly understood, particularly in higher socioeconomic groups, where postponing retirement has had both positive and negative implications for PF.
