Longer you work, longer you live

​Washington D.C: Turns out, taking earlyretirement isn't the key to a long life. Instead, it's the people working past age 65 who live the longest, according to a recent study.

The Oregon State University researchers found that healthy adults who retired one year past age 65 had an 11 percent lower risk of death from all causes, even when taking into account demographic, lifestyle and health issues.

Adults who described themselves as unhealthy were also likely to live longer if they kept working, the findings showed, which indicates that factors beyond health may affect post- retirementmortality.
