Effects of retirement on lifestyle in relation to changes in weight and waist circumference in Dutch men: a prospective study

Abstract

Retirement was associated with an increase in weight and waist circumference among those with former active jobs, but not among those with former sedentary jobs. Retirement may bring opportunities for healthy changes in diet and physical activity, which could be used in health promotion programmes.
