> no conclusions should be drawn from a single study period I didn't see the point in pointing out the obvious - I thought that's as annoying as on reddit's /r/science the inevitable single-sentence comment "correlation is not causation" for no reason whatsoever (i.e. when nobody made that claim). I pointed out the age threshold because there was a comment (of only 6 or 7 total at that point) that attempted to draw the conclusion that older people are doing worse.

From what do you come to the conclusion that older people are doing worse? Worse in respect to what? The paper more or less confirms from the cognitive domain, that we are working to much. Upto 25 hours are the best. This interestingly coincides with claims from others, eg. UBI folks, to work less for increased productivity. Seems we are getting more and more factual prove that eg. redistribution of wealth should be done not by increasing taxes but by getting more people into the workforce in exchange of others working less (and earning less).
