The Australian: Working women in best of health [September 15, 2005]
Working women in best of health

WOMEN juggling paid work and the unpaid care of their families are in better mental and physical health than those who stay home.
And younger women in their 20s are more likely to be stressed than their mothers or grandmothers, a 10-year study of 40,000 Australian women found.
Unlike the myth of the grumpy old woman, the research has shown that as women get older they don't get crankier or rapidly lose their faculties.
But fears that 10 years of dieting have achieved little have been confirmed, with women in their 20s and 50s adding at least half a kilo a year in weight.
The landmark study will continue to track the health of the women, from three generational age groups, for at least another decade, but figures were released yesterday to mark the mid-point of the research.
