请不要使用过於情绪化的辞句,我想这里应该是讲道理讲根据的讨论版,
还有任何的科学研究都有其想法与存在价值,
"凭空制造社会恐慌"这种说法对研究人员并不公平。
※ 引述《[email protected] (coyot+e)》之铭言:
> 我只问大家一个问题
> 若你们将来生出一个 在一岁内头围增长缓慢的儿女 你们该怎办?
> 我对研究本身的评论是 凭空制造社会恐慌的研究人员 何不去死算了
> 就算他的研究结果都是对的又如何? 能治疗吗? 能弃养吗?
> 除非有一天 能在一岁内发现并能治疗 否则这种研究计划早该被否定

> : 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
