To investigate anecdotal evidence that the name "Shufflebottom" originates from the dominantly inherited characteristic of bottom shuffling.
A questionnaire based retrospective study to determine the incidence of bottom shuffling and age of first walking among those named "Shufflebottom" and a control population, of those named "Walker".
There was no statistically significant difference in incidence of bottom shuffling or age at first walking, between the two groups. The incidence of bottom shuffling (21.4%) was generally higher than has been described previously and Walkers were more likely to walk later than Shufflebottoms.
Shufflebottoms are no more likely to bottom shuffle than other children. The origin of the surname as representing this physical characteristic cannot be confirmed.
调查“Shufflebottom”这个名字源于臀部拖着走这一显性遗传特征的传闻证据。
开展一项基于问卷的回顾性研究,以确定名为“Shufflebottom”的人群以及名为“Walker”的对照人群中臀部拖着走的发生率和首次走路的年龄。
两组之间在臀部拖着走的发生率或首次走路的年龄方面没有统计学上的显著差异。臀部拖着走的发生率(21.4%)总体上高于先前描述的情况,且名为“Walker”的人比名为“Shufflebottom”的人更有可能走路较晚。
名为“Shufflebottom”的人并不比其他孩子更有可能臀部拖着走。作为代表这种身体特征的姓氏的起源无法得到证实。
