Frequent house moves during childhood causes long term bad health

A stable home life is an important factor for keeping children healthy, according to new research published in The Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

Frequent house moves during childhood increases the risk of subsequent poor health, Scottish research finds.

Children in single or step parent families and with two or three siblings were most likely to move home.

Those families with four children or more were more likely to stay in the same house.
