The purpose of this study was to examine the association between prenatal exposure to cigarettes and heart rate during an object manipulation task at 9 months of age. Second-by-second heart rate was recorded for 181 infants who were prenatally exposed to cigarettes and 77 nonexposed infants during the manipulation of four standardized toys. A series of longitudinal multilevel models were run to examine the association of prenatal smoking on the intercept and slope of heart rate during four 90-second object manipulation tasks. After controlling for maternal age, prenatal marijuana and alcohol use, duration of focused attention and activity level, results indicated that the heart rates of exposed infants significantly increased during the object manipulation task. These findings suggest casual rather than focused attention and a possible increase in physiological arousal during object manipulation.
本研究的目的是检验产前接触香烟与9个月大婴儿在物体操作任务中的心率之间的关联。在操作四个标准化玩具的过程中,对181名产前接触香烟的婴儿和77名未接触香烟的婴儿逐秒记录心率。运行了一系列纵向多层次模型,以检验产前吸烟与四个90秒物体操作任务期间心率的截距和斜率之间的关联。在控制了母亲年龄、产前大麻和酒精使用情况、注意力集中持续时间和活动水平后,结果表明,在物体操作任务期间,接触香烟婴儿的心率显著增加。这些发现表明是随意而非集中的注意力,并且在物体操作过程中生理唤醒可能增加。
