Exercise :: Pet owners more unhealthy than others
Health of working aged Finns pet owners tend to be more unhealthy and overweight (with more body mass index BMI) than others, revealed in a research from the University of Turku, Finland. Perceived health of pet owners was weak more often than that of those not having a pet.The association of pet ownership and health of working aged Finns (20-54 years of age) was studied at the University of Turku as part of a large research project entitled Health and Social Support (HeSSup). The findings were published in PLoS ONE, the new international online publication of the Public Library of Science.
At the total population level, pet ownership was most common among those 40 years of age or older, those whose lives are established and who are settled down as well as among those who live in single family houses and who have couple relationships. Pet ownership was slightly more often associated with a low rather than high social standing or education. Four of five people working in agriculture had a pet, with 41% of those representing other occupational groups having one.
