Life expectancy
https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevevernon/2019/07/12/no-delaying-retirement-wont-cause-you-to-die-sooner/ "According to Julie Curtis, Boeing’s director of actuarial services, this graph has no basis in fact. It, and charts like it, have circulated for at least 20 years and, ‘although completely untrue, have become an urban legend.’ Curtis states flatly, ‘Just as important, our data show that the life expectancy of a Boeing retiree does not depend on the age at retirement.’" cagliost (talk) 12:27, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

 * "“The idea that working longer will shorten a Boeing employee’s life expectancy simply isn’t true,” said Julie Curtis, an actuary at Boeing. I’ve been looking at the data since 1983, and the length of a retiree's life is unrelated to the age at his or her retirement." cagliost (talk) 23:34, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
