这项研究比较了两组年龄在55岁及以上的黑人母亲的精神和身体健康状况，这些母亲正在照顾他们患有精神分裂症的成年子女。情感性精神障碍（N=30）和那些没有。患有精神疾病的儿童（N=263）。两组之间唯一不同的人口统计学变量是，为患有精神疾病的成年子女提供护理的妇女比对照组中的妇女有更多的孩子。两组女性的心理健康状况相似。然而，呃，那些照顾患有精神疾病的成年子女的母亲患慢性病的几率更高，比如高血压，关节炎和眼疾。

The only demographic variable that was found to differ, between the two groups was that the women who were providing care for their adult child with mental illness had more children than the women in the comparison group. Both groups of women had similar mental health status. However er, the mothers who were providing care for their adult children with mental illness had higher rates of chronic health conditions, such as high blood pressure, arthritis, and eye problems.
