Study finds "sandwich carers" seeing significant health declines due to caregiving burdens.

A study by University College London reveals that "sandwich carers," who care for aging parents and children, face significant declines in mental and physical health. The research analyzed nearly 2,000 sandwich carers and found their health deteriorated more than those not in similar roles. The study highlights the need for better support, such as respite care and workplace flexibility, to help these caregivers maintain their wellbeing.
