Although chronic life strain is often found to be associated with adverse health outcomes, empirical research is lacking on the health implications of persistent role overload that many women around the world are subject to, the so-called double burden of work and family responsibilities. Using data from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey (1994-2012), we examined the linkage between time-use profiles and body mass index (BMI) trajectories for Filipino women over an 18-year span. Out of the four classes of women with differential levels of a combination of work and family duties, the group with the heaviest double burden has the highest average BMI. In addition, those who have remained in this class for three or more waves of data not only have higher BMI on average but also have experienced the steepest rate of increase in BMI upon transition from midlife to old age.
虽然慢性生活压力通常与不良健康结果相关，但对于世界各地许多女性所面临的持续角色过载对健康的影响，即所谓的工作和家庭责任双重负担，实证研究还很缺乏。本研究利用宿务纵向健康和营养调查（1994-2012 年）的数据，考察了菲律宾女性在 18 年期间的时间使用模式和体重指数（BMI）轨迹之间的联系。在四个具有不同工作和家庭责任组合水平的女性群体中，双重负担最重的群体的平均 BMI 最高。此外，那些在三个或更多波次的数据中一直处于这个群体的人不仅平均 BMI 更高，而且从中年到老年过渡时 BMI 的增长率也最高。
