House Husband’s Heart Risk
Most people assume
that life in the rat race is bad for
your health. But reversing the traditional gender roles, being a house husband
is a stressful business, according
to the latest research by American scientist. By giving up their jobs in order
to become house husbands, men increase their risk of heart attack or coronary
disease by as much as 82%, according to research based on 10 year study of
2,500 people in Boston, USA.
Accoding to Dr. Elaine Eaker, the key to the
problem is that some men became stressed about performing a role not
traditionally assign to them by society. Men who stays at home tend not to have the same levels of
support from friends and family as women do the same.
Jack O’Sullivan, of the Father’s Direct, was
quoted as saying: “Society expects the main career should be a woman and
society is structured around that. Day care is called mother and toddler groups
and some men feel awkward about
belonging to those groups.
Professor Gary Cooper, a psychologist at the
University of Manchester, said many men tend to underestimate the task of
caring for a family. He said “Most men think being a house husband involves
putting on a bit of washing, taking the kids to school and then putting their
feet up with a cup of coffee.
They are crazy. Most men are not used to
performing a variety of activities simultaneously – the kind of multi-tasking
which is second nature to most women.
It is estimated that men have taken over the
main homemaker’s role in one in seven homes, as increasing numbers of women
become the main breadwinner. The study also found that women in high-powered
jobs were more likely to develop heart disease than those in more junior
positions.
