One hundred thirty-six alcoholic men and 48 alcoholic women admitted consecutively to an adult alcohol and substance abuse unit were studied in an attempt to replicate previous reports of an association between alcoholism and handedness. Each individual received a structured admission interview, and handedness was determined by a modification of the Edinburgh Inventory. Left-handedness was more frequent in men with alcoholic fathers and in first-born men. These data are discussed in the context of a recent theory relating left-handedness, immune disease, developmental learning disorders, and fetal testosterone.
连续收治到一个成人酒精与药物滥用治疗单元的136名男性酗酒者和48名女性酗酒者接受了研究，旨在重现先前关于酗酒与用手习惯之间关联的报告。每位受试者都接受了一次结构化的入院访谈，用手习惯通过对爱丁堡量表的修改版来确定。有酗酒父亲的男性以及头胎男性中左利手更为常见。这些数据在最近一个关于左利手、免疫疾病、发育性学习障碍和胎儿睾酮的理论背景下进行了讨论。
