One of the main modern demographical trends is aging of population which influence the labor market and employment of the elderly. Many elderly persons work after retirement age and countries change of the retirement age. Retirement can be treated by the elderly not always positively and thus make a considerable impact on the health status. This theme is broadly discussed in foreign gerontological studies, but remains unaffected in Russian scientific literature. The aim of this study is the analysis and classification of the results of 80 empirical foreign researches, which study impact of retirement on health. The comparative analysis shows contradiction of results, the reason of which is the impact of exogenous and endogenous factors and variation of the applied methods. The most reliable results are presented by researches, based on both survey and administrative data; they enable to evaluate objectively the health status and factors of its variation.
