Abstract
- Objectives The increasing number of working elderly people has enhanced the importance of workplace health promotion activities. We investigated the association between the health status of workers approximately 60 years of age and the risk of all‐cause mortality after compulsory retirement in Japan.

Baseline health examinations were conducted at 60 years of age and included questions about medical history and lifestyle factors; the participants also underwent a physical examination. The participants were followed up annually by mail for an average of 7.4 years. The association between health status at age 60 years and the risk of all‐cause mortality was assessed by Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Results During the study, 71 deaths were reported. The age‐ and sex‐adjusted hazard ratio (HR [95% confidence interval]) for all‐cause mortality was higher for males (HR, 3.41 [1.73‐6.69]) compared with females, participants with a low body mass index (
