Abstract

This study evaluated the self-reported patterns of handedness among a large subsample (n = 1612) of the gay/bisexual men comprising the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS). There was a small but significant elevation in left-handedness among gay/bisexual men compared to available normative data. However, there were no differences within the cohort in measures of immune function, self-reported autoimmune disorders, asthma, or hay fever, although there was an association between handedness and allergy. Performance on neuropsychological tests also did not differ as a function of handedness.

摘要

本研究评估了多中心艾滋病队列研究（MACS）中一个由男同性恋者/双性恋男性组成的大子样本（n = 1612）自我报告的用手习惯模式。与现有的标准数据相比，男同性恋者/双性恋男性中左利手者比例虽小但有显著升高。然而，该队列在免疫功能指标、自我报告的自身免疫性疾病、哮喘或花粉热方面并无差异，尽管用手习惯与过敏之间存在关联。神经心理学测试的表现也不因用手习惯而有所不同。
