These women may have less time to take care of their own health, says lead author Sunmin Lee, ScD, of the Harvard School of Public Health. Younger kids may pose more risk because they need more care.

"It’s not just about physical health. Older adults need time to connect with people of their own age. Social isolation is a major risk factor for illness." If your mom helps out, make sure she has breaks during the day, as well as "vacations" at regular inter
