However, the impact of employment in aging is poorly explored. Our study addressed how job demands can affect aging after retirement. We have developed a descriptive observational study carried out in 367 older adults with a mean age of 73.9 years (66.5% women and 33.5% men), measuring cognition and functional status. Our results demonstrate that older adults who had high mental demands in their jobs, show better scores in cognition. However, they show poor functional development of basic and instrumental activities of daily life (p<.05). In contrast, former workers who had high physical demands, display lower scores in cognition and lower functional performance in instrumental activities (p<.05). Work life activities contribute to cognitive and physical decline after retirement. Therefore, healthy aging should include interventions that consider the job influence on the age impairment. © The Author(s) 2022. 000118849 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000118849 590__ $$a3.0$$b2022 000118849 592__ $$a1.061$$b2022 000118849 591__ $$aGERONTOLOGY$$b16 / 37 = 0.432$$c2022$$dQ2$$eT2 000118849 593__ $$aGerontology$$c2022$$dQ1 000118849 593__ $$aGeriatrics and Gerontology$$c2022$$dQ2 000118849 594__ $$a4.8$$b2022 000118849 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/submittedVersion 000118849 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-0137-9900$$aLozano-Berges, Gabriel$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000118849 700__ $$aPeralta-Marrupe, Patricia$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000118849 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-5797-3909$$aLatorre, Eva$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000118849 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-0061-3312$$aGomez-Soria, Isabel$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000118849 7102_ $$11006$$2245$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
