Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between physical fitness and the cessation of work among members of the Silver Human Resources Center. Methods: The participants included 737 elderly individuals (male, n=458; female, n=279). The components of physical fitness (muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, coordination ability, and flexibility) were measured using self-reported methods. In the present study, the cessation of work was defined as having no work for the past year due to concerns about one＇s own physical fitness. A logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the association between the components of physical fitness and the cessation of work. Results: Forty-seven participants had ceased work according to the abovementioned definition. In a model adjusted for sex, age, BMI, and medication use, two of the components of physical fitness (muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness) were significantly associated with the cessation of work. In a model that was additionally adjusted for other components of physical fitness, there were no significant linear relationships between any of the components of physical fitness and the cessation of work (p for trend ＞ 0.05); however, the participants with mid-level muscle strength had a significantly lower odds ratio for the cessation of work (0.34; 95% confidence interval, 0.14 - 0.85) in comparison to those with low-level muscle strength (reference). Conclusion: The present study showed that physical fitness, especially muscle strength, was significantly associated with the cessation of work among members of the Silver Human Resources Center.
