Whereas considerable work has been published regarding biological factors associated with infant health, much less is known about the associations of environmental context with infant development - the focus of the present cross-sectional study.
Data were collected on 561 infants, aged newborn to 18 months. Measures included the Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale, Alberta Infant Motor Scale, and selected bio/medical factors. Correlation and regression were used to analyze the data.
Home environmental factors were associated with children's motor development as much as some typically high-risk biologic factors.
The home environment partially explained infant development outcomes and infants at risk could possibly be helped with a home assessment for affordances.
尽管已经发表了大量关于与婴儿健康相关的生物学因素的研究,但对于环境背景与婴儿发育之间的关联却知之甚少——本横断面研究的重点即在于此。
收集了561名年龄从新生儿到18个月大婴儿的数据。测量指标包括家庭环境对运动发育的支持度——婴儿量表、艾伯塔婴儿运动量表以及选定的生物/医学因素。采用相关性分析和回归分析对数据进行分析。
家庭环境因素与儿童运动发育的关联程度与一些典型的高风险生物学因素相当。
家庭环境部分解释了婴儿的发育结果,对有风险的婴儿进行家庭支持度评估可能会有所帮助。
