The evidence from the few published studies concerning the physical health of children in one-parent families, suggests that these children have both a higher rate of hospitalization and a higher consulting rate with their general practitioner than two-parent children. There is also an indication that children in one-parent families suffer more health problems in the home than children in two-parent families. However, the studies that have been reviewed provide neither detailed nor confirmed results and at present the character of child health in one-parent families remains uncertain.
少数已发表的关于单亲家庭中儿童身体健康的研究证据表明,与双亲家庭的孩子相比,这些孩子的住院率和向全科医生咨询的比率都更高。还有迹象表明,单亲家庭中的孩子在家中比双亲家庭中的孩子遭受更多健康问题。然而,所审查的研究既没有提供详细的结果,也没有得到证实的结果,目前单亲家庭中儿童健康的特征仍然不确定。
