Evening chronotypes, or “night owls”, may struggle to continue working until the official retirement age, and they are linked to a 70% higher risk of needing a disability pension Read Full Article #NightOwls #Chronotype #DisabilityPensionRisk
🌙 People with evening chronotypes face a 1.7-fold increased risk of needing a disability pension compared to morning types. This research, published in Occupational & Environmental Medicine, analyzed data from Finnish adults.
📈 This increased risk was observed in individuals classified as "night owls" at age 46, with the effect persisting over a 12-year follow-up, even after accounting for socioeconomic factors.
🩺 The study suggests that poorer health, potentially linked to lifestyle choices and disrupted body clocks leading to sleep problems, is the main reason for this higher rate of disability pensions among evening types.
