Twin studies of Africans have been scarce although Africans have shown the highest twin birth rate in the world. As a parallel study of the South Korean Twin Registry, the Nigerian Twin and Sibling Registry (NTSR) was developed to understand causal influences on the development of cognitive abilities, personality, and mental health among Nigerians. Currently, 1,134 twins and 404 full- and half-siblings have been registered with NTSR. This article describes research background, goals, major recruitment strategies, measures, and future directions of the NTSR.
尽管非洲人的双胞胎出生率在世界上是最高的，但针对非洲人的双胞胎研究却很稀少。作为韩国双胞胎登记处的一项平行研究，尼日利亚双胞胎及兄弟姐妹登记处（NTSR）得以建立，旨在了解影响尼日利亚人认知能力、性格和心理健康发展的因果因素。目前，已有1134对双胞胎以及404名同父同母和同父异母/同母异父的兄弟姐妹在NTSR登记。本文介绍了NTSR的研究背景、目标、主要招募策略、测量方法以及未来方向。
