new YORK (Reuters Health) – hospitalizations
paediatric abuse they grew up in the United States in last decade
, and one study suggests that such an increase would be by the crisis
housing from the end of the 2000s.
to review statistics for the 2000-2009 period, the
hospitalizations for physical abuse in pediatric hospitals of the
country reached its peak in 2008, when they started
the executions of mortgages in many regions of the country.
and, in general, to increased the amount of debts
and foreclosures in different areas of the country, also
they did hospitalizations for abuse children.
this does not prove that the housing crisis is the culprit.

Association”, said the lead author, Dr. Joanne N. Wood,
of the Hospital for children in Philadelphia.
the results, published in Pediatrics, arise from a base

on the other hand, did not emerge any association between unemployment and
stays for abuse child.
is not known the reason for these differences, but Wood
raised that unemployment is not as extreme marker of the
family economic problems as the breach of a
mortgage or its execution.
results describe a different scenario to the of
previous studies that had suggested that child abuse
it was declining in the United States, as he recalled the team
Wood. the author attributed it possibly the origin of the
data used.
