Why do bad Housewives are more likely to suffer from obesity?

After statistical analysis of a group of experts from the University of South Carolina (the University of South Carolina) found: nearly two-thirds of women in the U.S. suffer from obesity or simply overweight. Scientists claim that the increase in the number of obese women may be partly explained by the fact that women began to do less work around the house, and lead a more sedentary lifestyle.



The result of a new experience opublikoval in the latest issue of the renowned medical journal PLoS ONE. So, ladies who are not working around the house, or carry only a small part of household duties twice as likely to suffer from overweight and obesity, compared to women who take care of the household.



The researchers examined data on about three million Housewives. They conducted a comparison of how women cope with domestic duties in 1960, and in our time. The study found that the average time women spend doing housework declined from 27 hours per week in 1960 to 13 hours per week in 2011.

Edward Archer (Edward Archer) — research associate of graduate school of public health named Arnold (the Arnold School of Public Health) commented:

"I guess this is due to the advent of dishwashers and washing machines, and many other things that can speed up the housework. But also to a huge extent, this trend can be explained by the fact that many women simply do not have time for housework".
