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. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 3.0 2022 GERONTOLOGY 16 / 37 = 0.432 2022 Q2 T2 1.061 2022 Gerontology 2022 Q1 Geriatrics and Gerontology 2022 Q2 4.8 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/submittedVersion Lozano-Berges, Gabriel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0137-9900 Peralta-Marrupe, Patricia Universidad de Zaragoza Latorre, Eva Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5797-3909 Gomez-Soria, Isabel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0061-3312 1006 245 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
