La edad está relacionada directamente con la vinculación familiar, puesto que si es el cónyuge quien ofrece los cuidados la edad será mayor que si es la hija o la nuera (Fernández de Larrinoa et al, 2011;Vázquez et al, 2010;Moreno et al, 2010;Franco et al, 2009;Schindler et al, 2012y Carretero et al, 2006.…”

“…Numerosos estudios coinciden en que los/as cuidadores/as informales están expuestos a una serie de estresores relacionados con las características de los cuidados que realizan de forma prolongada en el tiempo y que tienen consecuencias negativas (Franco et al, 2010;Vázquez et al, 2010;Schindler et al, 2012;Iáñez e Iáñez, 2005;Ornstein & Gaugler, 2012). Estos estresores dan lugar a complicaciones físicas, psicológicas y sociales tales como: enfermedades respiratorias, riesgo cardiovascular, aumento de la actividad simpática, depresión, estrés, ansiedad y aislamiento social (Moreno et al, 2010;Fernández de Larrinoa et al, 2011;Iáñez e Iáñez, 2005;Cuéllar y Sánchez, 2012;Fernández-Lansac y Crespo, 2011;Esteban y Mesa, 2008;Roig et al, 1998;Zambrano y Ceballos, 2007).…”
