ATLANTA, GEORGIA, April 25, 2002: A study being released at a meeting of the American Heart Association found that men who decide to become househusbands and take care of children at home may be putting their health and hearts in danger. In fact, researchers conducting the study in Framingham, Massachusetts, for the National Institutes for Health found men who have been stay-at-home dads most of their adult lives have an 82 percent higher risk of death from heart disease than men who work outside the home. They also found the women in high-powered jobs were also much more prone to heart disease. CNN’s Rhonda Rowland, in an April 24 American Heart Association report, says that potential health problems for role reversal parents are indicated.
