The HEalth, Aging and Retirement Transitions in Sweden (HEARTS) study is a longitudinal research project targeting the transition from work to retirement. The project was initiated in 2015 and includes 5913 individuals born between 1949 and 1955. The overall aim of HEARTS is to improve our understanding of the retirement process and the factors contributing to continuity and change in psychological health in the years before and following retirement.
We invite and encourage collaborations.
