title: [Retired physicians in Hungary - nationwide, representative study].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The aging population and the aging physician society is an important challenge of the New Millenium. Despite this, very few publications are dealing with the older generations' physical and mental well-being, quality of life and working conditions.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to describe the retired physicians populations' (n = 2112) demographic data, work status, income and health status.
  
  
  METHODS
  Data of this representative, cross-sectional epidemiological study was obtained from online and paper-based questionnaires completed by 2112 retired physicians.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The retired physicians' average age is 72 years, nearly two-thirds of the respondents retired after 35-45 years of service. Currently, nearly 60% are working, almost a quarter of them more than 40 hours per week. 35% of the respondents' income is below HUF 150,000. On this issue, significant differences emerge between female doctors and their male colleagues.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The employment data of the results is consistent with the international trend, but the gender perspectives has unique significance in the international literature. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(43), 1729-1736.
