The aim is to investigate whether even for narrowly defined health measures a divergence exists in the impacts of health on retirement between self\u2010reported health and objective physician\u2010reported health. Our sample consists of older workers and retirees drawn from a Danish panel survey from 1997 and 2002, merged to longitudinal register data. Estimation of measurement error\u2010reduced and selection\u2010corrected pooled OLS and fixed effects models of retirement show that receiving a medical diagnosis is an important determinant of retirement planning for both men and women, in fact more important than economic factors. The type of diagnosis matters, however. For men, the largest reduction in planned retirement age occurs for a diagnosis of lung disease while for women it occurs for musculo\u2010skeletal disease. Except for cardiovascular disease, diagnosed disease is more influential in men's retirement planning than in women's. Our study provides evidence that men's self\u2010report of myalgia and back problems and women's self\u2010report of osteoarthritis possibly yield biased estimates of the impact on planned retirement age, and that this bias ranges between 1.5 and 2 years, suggesting that users of survey data should be wary of applying self\u2010reports of health conditions with diffuse symptoms to the study of labor market outcomes. On the other hand, self\u2010reported cardiovascular disease such as high blood pressure does not appear to bias the estimated impact on planned retirement.
