Among 4630 boys, irrespective of the social class into which they were born, those who grew slowly during infancy had poor educational achievements and had lower incomes than those who grew more rapidly. One interpretation of this is that biological processes linked to slow infant growth may lead to lifelong impairment of cognitive function.
在4630名男孩中，无论他们出生于何种社会阶层，在婴儿期生长缓慢的男孩教育成就较低，收入也低于生长较快的男孩。对此的一种解释是，与婴儿生长缓慢相关的生物学过程可能导致认知功能的终身损害。
