  • Models were adjusted for age at retirement.

  • Period 1 = years −4 to −2 (preretirement); period 2 = years 1− to +1 (periretirement); period 3 = years +2 to +4 (postretirement).

  • * p Values (two sided) refer to interaction covariate × period (except for all, where p value refers to period main effect).

  • PR, prevalence ratio; EDF-GDF, Eléctricité de France-Gaz de France.
