The present study was conducted to measure the relationship between retirement and health in the sample of 132 in the Union Territory of Chandigarh. Our respondents were officers who have retired from the Indian Army, who are located in different sectors of the city. From the result of the study it was found that all the respondents were retired male army officers. The majority retired at the level of either Colonels or Lt. Colonels, while very few retired on higher and lower post. All the respondents did not have any severe physical problems but only some minor problems which are part of old age.
