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 scientists. 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.
According 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 stay at home tend not to
have the same levels of support from friends and family women do the same.
