Getting the boot late in your career may be especially bad for your health, according to research published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine. In the study, based on a nationally representative survey involving more than 12,500 participants from nearly 8,000 households, those who lost jobs at age 50 or older were more than twice as likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke as younger job-losers. The stress associated with late-career job loss appeared tied to adverse health outcomes, even after considering other risk factors such as diabetes, smoking, obesity and high blood pressure.
