Caregivers Pay Toll in Own Health

Caring for an aging or ill relative or spouse can be difficult, but it

also can strain the caregiver's physical and mental health.

That's according to a new study published in the March issue of

Journal of Health and Social Behavior. Researchers from Indiana University

in Bloomington studied 3,000 women between the ages of 50 and 65 to assess

how being a caregiver impacted their emotional and physical well-being.
