The aims of this study were to investigate gross motor development in Greek infants and establish AIMS percentile curves and to examine possible association of AIMS scores with socioeconomic parameters.
Mean AIMS scores of 1068 healthy Greek full-term infants were compared at monthly age level with the respective mean scores of the Canadian normative sample. In a subgroup of 345 study participants, parents provided, via interview, information about family socioeconomic status. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship of infant motor development with socioeconomic parameters.
Mean AIMS scores did not differ significantly between Greek and Canadian infants in any of the 19 monthly levels of age. In multiple linear regression analysis, the educational level of the mother and also whether the infant was being raised by grandparents/babysitter were significantly associated with gross motor development (p=0.02 and p<0.001, respectively), whereas there was no significant correlation of mean AIMS scores with gender, birth order, maternal age, paternal educational level and family monthly income.
Gross motor development of healthy Greek full-term infants, assessed by AIMS during the first 19months of age, follows a similar course to that of the original Canadian sample. Specific socioeconomic factors are associated with the infants' motor development.
本研究旨在调查希腊婴儿的大运动发育情况,建立AIMS百分位数曲线,并检验AIMS评分与社会经济参数之间可能存在的关联。
将1068名健康希腊足月婴儿的平均AIMS评分在每月年龄水平上与加拿大标准样本的相应平均评分进行比较。在345名研究参与者的子组中,父母通过访谈提供了有关家庭社会经济地位的信息。进行多元线性回归分析以评估婴儿运动发育与社会经济参数之间的关系。
在19个每月年龄水平中的任何一个水平上,希腊和加拿大婴儿的平均AIMS评分均无显著差异。在多元线性回归分析中,母亲的教育水平以及婴儿是否由祖父母/保姆抚养与大运动发育显著相关(分别为p = 0.02和p < 0.001),而平均AIMS评分与性别、出生顺序、母亲年龄、父亲教育水平和家庭月收入之间无显著相关性。
在19个月大之前通过AIMS评估的健康希腊足月婴儿的大运动发育过程与原始加拿大样本相似。特定的社会经济因素与婴儿的运动发育有关。
