a

Values are exponentiated coefficients from linear models of log-transformed outcomes. Values can be interpreted as percentage differences, for example 1.07 represents a 7% increase in the outcome associated with retirement, conditional on adjustment variables (self-reported health, partnership status, and 9 chronic conditions: asthma, emphysema, arthritis flare up, high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease).

b

Restricted to participants present at study exam 5 and free of cardiovascular disease, depression, cognitive impairment, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease throughout follow-up.

c

Exponentiated mean difference in log-transformed outcome associated with retirement, conditional on adjustment variables.

d

Exponentiated mean difference in log-transformed outcome associated with 5-year increase in age among retired and not retired participants, conditional on adjustment variables.

MVPA, moderate to vigorous physical activity; SEP, socioeconomic position
