Caregivers In A Pickle - Research At American Public Health Association Meeting

from Medical News Today:

People taking care of more than one generation -- such as their
children and parents -- engaged in fewer healthy behaviors, found a
study by researchers from Indiana University and Arizona State
University.


As the U.S. population continues to age, more and more midlife adults
find themselves similarly "sandwiched," leading the research team to
conclude that "encouraging healthy behaviors among caregivers has the
potential to prevent significant illness and premature mortality."
