This study examined the psychosocial well-being of retired on pension men in Goiânia. The participants were 118 men, retired by service time, whose working life occurred in public service companies. The instrument used was a questionnaire with open and closed questions. Multiple regressions were used to analyze the data. The dependent variable was the well being index and the predictors were eight variables on aspects related to social relationships, financial life, health and sexual life after retirement. The most significant predictors for the well being of the participant were living the retirement as planned, satisfaction with their health and the possibility of social relationships where they can move more independently. These results are discussed emphasizing the peculiarities of the sample, the difficulties to generalize the results and the importance of further studies aiming at making the subject central to agenda of studies on population aging.
