An ISPUP study found that women exposed to marketing techniques for infant formula (also known as 'artificial milk') are more likely to stop breastfeeding their children and to do so exclusively, until they are 6 months old. |

Injuries and work-related health problems in Generation XXI women |
|
|
ISPUP has assessed the prevalence of work-related injuries and ill-health among a sample of mothers in the Generation XXI cohort and found that almost a quarter have suffered at least one work-related injury during their working lives, and a third have experienced a work-related health problem. Musculoskeletal and mental illnesses are the work-related health problems that most affect these mothers. |
