雙語健康：研究稱學(xué)會(huì)走路早長大身體越好

根據(jù)《公共科學(xué)圖書館?綜合》(PLoS ONE)上一項(xiàng)對(duì)9,000名1966年生于芬蘭的人的研究，在很小的時(shí)候就能在無人幫助的情況下站立行走的孩子進(jìn)入青春期后，會(huì)比那些較慢達(dá)到相關(guān)“動(dòng)作發(fā)展指標(biāo)”的孩子更健壯。身體最早熟的嬰兒──在六至八個(gè)月即可在無人幫助的情況下站立行走的嬰兒與六個(gè)月后才能在無人幫助的情況下站立或行走的同齡人相比，在14歲時(shí)的體育課成績高出1/3，每周參加更多的體育運(yùn)動(dòng)，并且參與的體育運(yùn)動(dòng)類型也更多。研究人員稱，提早掌握動(dòng)作技能與日后生活中較高的體育活動(dòng)參與程度之間的聯(lián)系可以反映出遺傳差異和早期生物學(xué)因素(如飲食)的影響。

注意：研究人員稱，這項(xiàng)研究是靠父母的敘述來確定嬰兒何時(shí)達(dá)到這些動(dòng)作發(fā)展指標(biāo)的。如果足夠多的父母有意或無意地回避說出發(fā)育滯后的情況，那么結(jié)果就會(huì)產(chǎn)生偏差。

Athletic Infants: Children who were able to stand and walk unaided at the earliest ages were more athletic as adolescents than children who had been slower to reach those 'motor milestones,' according to a study of 9,000 people born in Finland in 1966 that appeared in PLoS ONE.The most physically precocious infants--those who stood and walked unaided between about ages six months and eight months--as 14-year-olds scored one-third of a grade higher in physical education, attended more sports sessions per week and played more types of sports than peers who hadn't stood or walked unaided until six months later.The associations between early motor skills and higher sports participation later in life could reflect genetic differences, as well as the influence of early biological factors, such as diet, the researchers said。

Caveat:The study relied on parental reporting to determine when the infants reached these motor milestones.If enough parents deliberately or unintentionally avoided reporting delayed development, the findings could be skewed, the researchers said。
