“…Maestas [31] finds that many older workers who returned to work after retiring had earlier planned on doing so. Michel et al [32] posits the fight against risk factors for dependency and disability, to target identify and identify modifiable risk factors. It is always possible to positively modify intermediate risk factors, such as health behaviours (smoking, alcohol consumption or other addictions), health habits (diet and sedentary lifestyle), as well as working and living conditions, and access to healthcare.…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine the cohort effect on different stages of the financial life cycle and the extent of planning for a financial safety net. A total of 990 questionnaires were distributed randomly in the Klang Valley of Malaysia which is the largest and most cosmopolitan region resulting in a 55.2% return rate. Analyses using hierarchical and ordinary regression were applied on four hypotheses. The results revealed that age cohort variables made significant contribution to life cycle retirement planning, particularly the younger age cohort. Strong relationship was found between current financial resources and consumption for all age cohorts. On the other hand, there were no significant effect between current financial resources and age cohorts except that the older age cohorts were relatively more significant predictors. The implication was that not only should their individual perceptions of retirement planning become an increasingly important part of people s long-term commitment throughout their life-cycle, it must also assume the role as a self-directed life-long learning process, in view of the ever-changing and complicated financial environment. Consumption pattern would have reduced post retirement. During their retirement years, healthcare will become ever so important as the elderly cohorts will have different degrees of health, illness, and disability. This can translate to higher cost within the same age cohort.

“…In this issue, Michel et al [1] have nicely summarized the strategies to prevent age-dependent physical and cognitive decline. They have covered almost all aspects of ageing processes that affect negative outcomes, such as disability and death and provided how to deal with comorbidities and to prevent frailty and disability.…”

“…The myth that old age is always associated with physical or economic dependence is refuted [1,2]. Michel et al thoughtfully analyse the possible interventions to promote functionally independent ageing [3]. ''Distal'' risk factors (economic and sociocultural determinants, education, air pollution, etc.)…”

“…Interventions contrasting ''intermediate'' risk factors include actions on health habits and behaviours. Interventions against ''proximal'' risk factors include actions on risk factors related to diseases that increase disability; i.e., vaccination programs [4], prevention of dementia, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, COPD, musculoskeletal diseases, sensory deficiencies, inappropriate drug prescriptions, and strategies to delay, prevent or reverse the frailty process [3].…”
