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

international totals.

over the years, this rate varied: in 2008 reached if level

maximum of 0.3 percent.

following. it was observed the same pattern when the team revised

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.
