 A three-day-week gets the best performance from workers aged 1 over 40, a study has found.


一项研究发现,40岁以上的人如果每周上三天班,工作表现最佳。
Researchers found the cognitive 2 performance of middle-aged 3 people improved as the working week increased up to 25 hours a week.
研究人员发现,当中年人每周工作时间达到25小时,认知表现将有所改善。
However, when the week went over 25 hours, overall performance for the test subjects decreased as "fatigue 4 and stress" took effect.
然而,如果每周工作时间超过25小时,受试者的整体表现则将恶化,因为“疲劳和压力”开始产生影响。
研究:年过40的人最好每周只工作三天
The report, which was published in the Melbourne Institute Worker Paper series, invited 3,000 men and 3,500 women in Australia to complete a series of cognitive tests while their work habits were analysed.
发表在《墨尔本研究院工人报》的这篇研究报告邀请了澳大利亚的3000名男性和3500名女性来完成一系列认知测试,同时分析他们的工作习惯。
It was found those working 25 hours a week performed best while those working 55 hours a week showed results worse than retired 5 or unemployed 6 participants.
研究发现,每周工作25小时的人表现最佳,而每周工作55小时的人的测试成绩比那些退休或待业的人还糟。
One of the three authors, Professor Colin McKenzie from Keio University told the Times: "Many countries are going to raise their retirement 7 ages by delaying the age at which people are eligible 8 to start receiving pension benefits. This means that more people continue to work in the later stages of their life.
该研究报告的三位作者之一、来自日本庆应义塾大学的科林?麦肯齐教授告诉《泰晤士报》说:“许多国家都预备提高退休年龄,让人们延迟领取养老金。这意味着更多人在中晚年还要继续工作。
"The degree of intellectual stimulation 9 may depend on working hours. Work can be a double-edged sword, in that it can stimulate 10 brain activity, but at the same time long working hours can cause fatigue and stress, which potentially damage cognitive functions.
“智力被激发的程度可能取决于工作时长。工作是一把双刃剑,既能够刺激大脑活动,同时过长的工作时间也会导致疲劳和压力,并有可能损害认知功能。
"We point out that differences in working hours are important for maintaining cognitive functioning in middle-aged and elderly adults. This means that, in middle and older age, working part-time could be effective in maintaining cognitive ability."
“我们指出了不同工作时长的区别所在,这对于保持中老年人的认知功能具有重要意义。这意味着,在中晚年,从事兼职工作将能有效地保持认知能力。”
