Women's long career Healthier

Scientists in England say married women who struggled with an active career and a home condition was much better than ordinary housewife.

In a study of British women born in 1946, scientists found those with a number of roles, such as career women and housewives, or a single parent while working are likely to have health conditions that are far better than those who merely just a mom's house stairs.

Women who have just one role in life as just a housewife or working woman who remained single general decline of health conditions are quite clear upon reaching middle age.

"The report says women who have two or more roles within a period long enough to have kept good health condition when he reached the age of 54 years," said Dr Anne McMunn of University College, London.

"Women tend to have careers health conditions are generally good because they combine career and family life," said McMunn.

McMunn and his team analyzed health reports from 2000 women in the age range 26 to 54 years and associated with weight loss. Besides also involve information on marital status, tenure and number of children they have, which are all published in the journal Epidemiology and Community Health.

The researchers found women who only do the role as a housewife most of her life have health conditions that are far from healthy standard, followed by a mother who only act as a single parent and the latter are those who do not have kids or stay single.

not actively working to make fat
Housewives tend to have more overweight and obesity rapidly with the level of the average highest around 38 percent, while the role of women as wives, mothers and career is very little overweight.

McMunn said the truth had been known for a long time that women who combine several roles in his life and career of family have a good health condition. But it is unclear whether they work and family because they are healthy or unhealthy because it combines the role of wife, mother and career as well. And this study is the first and still will continue to see which is more play.

"There could be a big profit or benefit provided for health for the long term with the ability to participate in the various fields of social life," said McMunn.
