How much weight a baby gains during its first month could determine its IQ, as a new research suggests. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.
Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia^ studied 13,800 children who were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference (头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of six.
“Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.
She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言语) IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural (神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.”
Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (产后的) diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies’ life,” Dr. Smithers said.
“The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention (干预) in the management of that feeding.”
一项新的研究表明,婴儿在第一个月的体重增加了多少可能决定其智商。研究发现,在出生的第一个月,体重增加更多、脑袋长得很快的孩子,在开始上学时往往智商更高。
澳大利亚阿德莱德大学的研究人员对13800名足月出生的儿童进行了研究。他们发现,那些在头四周体重增加了40%的人的智商比那些只增加了15%的人高1.5分。那些头围增长最快的人(头围) 六岁时智商最高。
该研究的主要作者Lisa Smithers博士说:“头围是大脑体积的指标,因此新生儿头围的增加越大,大脑生长就越快。”。
她补充道:“总的来说,刚出生的孩子在前四周内生长得更快,在以后的生活中智商得分更高。那些体重增加最多的孩子在语言方面得分特别高。”(言语) 6岁时的智商。这可能是因为(神经的) 言语智商结构在生命早期发展,这意味着第一个月体重的快速增加可能对孩子的认知有直接的好处。”
先前的研究表明,出生后早期(产后的) 饮食和智商,但这是第一项关注出生后第一个月体重快速增加对智商益处的研究。Smithers博士说,这项研究进一步强调了成功喂养新生儿的必要性。史密瑟斯博士说:“我们知道,许多母亲在婴儿出生的第一周就很难建立母乳喂养。”。
“我们的研究结果表明,如果婴儿有喂养问题,就需要及早干预(干预) 在喂养管理方面。”
