living with inlaws can cause heart attack?

A new study which found that women living with their husbands and a set of parents (most often their in-laws) were three times more likely to have a heart attack than women living with only their spouse. i used to had my two month vacation and lived with my inlaws for that long but we hadn't had some issues only because we're just visitors. i can't imagine myself living with them. my husband used to live with my parents for a year and a half since he retired from his job. there were issues about waking up late and washing the dishes for the whole family. it was really a year of agony for him. thanks GOD we're back in our own old house. or else, the study mentioned wouldn't be true. what's your experience on this?Of course, it doesn't take a medical degree to draw a connection between extreme stress and close contact with in-laws.

I agree but I have always thought that this only fits Chinese couples. Now from your post, I learn that it is a very common phenomenon everywhere. Gee ! I would never live with his parents. Or the marriage will be at risk.

yes that's true. if you don't want to put your marriage at risk, then better be at the other side where no parents are present. it's just good to visit them and not live with them. thanks for responding here.
