New research from the University of Adelaide shows that weight gain and increased head size in the first month of a baby's life is linked to a higher IQ at early school age. The study was led by University of Adelaide Public Health researchers, who analysed data from more than 13,800 children who were born full-term.
The results, published in the international journal Pediatrics, show that babies who put on 40% of their birthweight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher by the time they were six years of age, compared with babies who only put on 15% of their birthweight.
Those with the biggest growth in head circumference(头围) also had the highest IQs.
"Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newborn baby suggests more rapid brain growth," says the lead author of the study, Dr Lisa Smithers from the University of Adelaide's School of Population Health.
"Overall, newborn children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life," she says.
"Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during that neonatal period(新生儿期) could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the child."
Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal 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 for healthy newborn babies.
Dr Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newborn babies.
"We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first weeks of their baby's life," Dr Smithers says.
"The findings of our study suggest that if infants are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention in the management of that feeding."
从阿德莱德大学的新研究显示,体重增加,增加头部大小的婴儿生命的第一个月被链接到一个更高的智商在学龄早期。领导这项研究是由阿德莱德大学的公共卫生研究人员,谁的数据进行了分析,从超过13,800谁是足月出生的孩子。
研究结果发表在国际儿科杂志,表明他们六岁的时候,谁把他们的出生体重的40%的前四个星期的婴儿的智商高出1.5个百分点,比婴儿只放15 %他们的体重。
那些具有最大的增长,头围(头围)也有最高的智商。
“头围是脑容量的指标,一个初生的婴儿头围更大的增长,因此建议更多的大脑迅速生长,说:”研究的主要作者,阿德莱德大学人口健康学院博士丽莎史密瑟斯。
“总体而言,增长较快的前四个星期的新生儿有较高的智商,在以后的生活,”她说。
“那些孩子体重增加最多6岁时言语智商得分特别高,这可能是因为言语智商的神经结构发展早在生活中,这意味着体重迅速增加,新生儿期(新生儿期)期间可以有直接的认知方面有益于儿童。“
以往的研究表明早期产后饮食和智商之间的关联,但是这是第一次的同类研究集中在IQ体重迅速增加的好处,健康的新生婴儿在第一个月的生活。
史密瑟斯博士说,这项研究进一步凸显成功喂养的新生婴儿的需要。
史密瑟斯博士说:“我们知道,许多母亲建立母乳喂养在他们的婴儿的生命的第一周有困难,”。
“我们的研究结果表明,如果婴儿喂养的问题,还需要在管理,饲养,早期干预。”
