Life-course trajectories of working conditions and successful ageing.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

As populations are ageing worldwide, it is important to identify strategies to promote successful ageing. We investigate how working conditions throughout working life are associated with successful ageing in later life.

Methods

Data from two nationally representative longitudinal Swedish surveys were linked (n=674).

Occupations were matched with job exposure matrices to measure working conditions at each of these time points. Random effects growth curve models were used to calculate intra-individual trajectories of working conditions. Successful ageing, operationalised using an index including social and leisure ac
