Many 60-year-old employees healthier than their 30-something counterparts
U.K. study shows stress, lifestyle choices can make a difference
In a surprising finding, new research out of Great Britain shows that many employers in their 60s have a lower “relative vitality age” – and thus, lower health risks – than colleagues in their 30s.
The Britain’s Healthiest Company Report* crunched numbers on nearly 10,000 people and concluded that the sexagenarians in the survey had lower health risks based on a “Vitality Age calculator” developed by PruHealth, a health insurer and wellness program provider. Mercer, a global talent, health and retirement consultant, also helped produce the report.
