SPECIAL FEATURES & EVENTS
FYI..."A 2003 study of caregivers by a research team at Ohio State
University has proven the off-repeated adage "stress can kill you" is true. The
focus of the investigation was the effect the stress of caregiving had on caregivers.
The team, led by Dr. Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, reports on a 6-year study of elderly
people caring for spouses with Alzheimer's Disease. The study not only found a
significant deterioration in the health of caregivers when compared to a similar
group of non-caregivers but also found the caregivers had a 63% higher death
rate than the control group."
