The present study was based on data from a longitudinal research program. The cohort consisted of 12,079 children, born in the Stockholm area in 1953. There were 494 children born with low birth weight (LBW; 2500 g or less). The results of the present study showed, that the LBW children had significantly lower school marks and intelligence-test scores (numerical, verbal and logical abilities) at the age of 13 than the normal birth weight children (NBW). For girls reared in non-manual socio-economic status (SES), decreased school marks and IQ-test scores were related to birth weight, and this was especially pronounced for LBW girls born after pregnancy week 37. For boys, however, no decreased school marks and IQ-test scores were related to birth weight and gestational age, with the exception of verbal ability for LBW boys born after pregnancy week 37 reared in non-manual SES.
本研究基于一项纵向研究项目的数据。该队列由1953年出生在斯德哥尔摩地区的12079名儿童组成。其中有494名低体重出生(LBW;2500克或以下)的儿童。本研究结果表明,低体重出生儿童在13岁时的学业成绩和智力测试分数(数字、语言和逻辑能力)显著低于正常出生体重儿童(NBW)。对于非体力社会经济地位(SES)抚养的女孩,学业成绩和智商测试分数的下降与出生体重有关,这在妊娠37周后出生的低体重出生女孩中尤为明显。然而,对于男孩来说,除了在非体力SES抚养的妊娠37周后出生的低体重出生男孩的语言能力外,学业成绩和智商测试分数的下降与出生体重和胎龄无关。
