我只問大家一個問題
若你們將來生出一個 在一歲內頭圍增長緩慢的兒女 你們該怎辦?
我對研究本身的評論是 憑空製造社會恐慌的研究人員 何不去死算了
就算他的研究結果都是對的又如何? 能治療嗎? 能棄養嗎?
除非有一天 能在一歲內發現並能治療 否則這種研究計劃早該被否定
※ 引述《vixen@kkcity.com.tw ( )》之銘言：
: 新聞從業人士者寫的跟研究人員寫的, 可能帶給讀者的感受會有相當大的不同,
: 比方研究報告就不會用"胎兒頭大=智力較高"這種標題殺人式的寫法
: 建議大家看完這篇文章以後, 再來對新聞稿件或研究本身分開評論. 以下附上摘要.

: OBJECTIVE. We investigated the effects of head growth prenatally, during
: infancy, and during later periods of development on cognitive function at the
: ages of 4 and 8 years.
: METHODS. We studied 633 term-born children from the Avon Longitudinal Study
: of Parents and Children cohort whose head circumference was measured at birth
: and at regular intervals thereafter. Their cognitive function was assessed
: with the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence at the age of 4
: years and with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children at the age of 8
: years. Linear regression analysis was used to calculate postnatal head growth
: between successive time points, conditional on previous size, and to examine
: the relationship between head growth during different periods of development
: and later IQ.
: RESULTS. When the influence of head growth was distinguished for different
: periods, only prenatal growth and growth during infancy were associated with
: subsequent IQ. At 4 years, after adjustment for parental characteristics,
: full-scale IQ increased an average of 2.41 points for each 1-SD increase in
: head circumference at birth and 1.97 points for each 1-SD increase in head
: growth during infancy, conditional on head size at birth. At 8 years, head
: circumference at birth was no longer associated with IQ, but head growth
: during infancy remained a significant predictor, with full-scale IQ
: increasing an average of 1.56 points for each 1-SD increase in growth.
: CONCLUSION. The brain volume a child achieves by the age of 1 year helps
: determine later intelligence. Growth in brain volume after infancy may not
: compensate for poorer earlier growth.
