It's a fat, old OHS risk we can't afford to take
Factors such as the 2009 recession, the worldwide economic malaise, an erosion in the value of superannuation savings, house price drops and the real value loss in wages have all caused working Australians over the age of 55 to continue working until they can afford to retire.
Changes to pensions and the tightened availability of other government benefits means that the average Australian will work longer, harder and with less return than they did 10 years ago.
It is a sad fact that older Australians are getting fatter and sicker.
The medical evidence overwhelmingly shows that age reduces the muscle strength, bone density and cognitive function that relates to people's physical judgement. Furthermore, the health statistics warn that those people working in manual handling and heavy industry are demographically likelier to have higher levels of health problems such as diabetes and excessive weight. They also often have riskier lifestyle factors, such as poor diet and limited exercise, in respect to their health.
