Height, weight, pulse rate and blood pressure were measured in 65 hyperactive individuals 17 to 24 years of age who had not taken stimulant medication during childhood and in 39 control subjects matched for age, sex, intelligence quotient and socioeconomic class. There were no significant differences in the physiologic measures between the two groups. Both the hyperactive and the control subjects seemed to have reached their growth plateau by the age of 17 to 24 years, though the exact time the plateau was reached was not determined. Hyperactive individuals who had taken phenothiazines during childhood were significantly taller (P less than 0.046) than those who had never taken medication. This finding may reflect stimulation of growth by phenothiazines at a critical period of growth, but more detailed reserach on this finding is necessary. The physiologic measures obtained in the hyperactive individuals who had never taken stimulant medication provide an important baseline against which to assess values in hyperactive individuals who have taken such medication.
对65名年龄在17至24岁之间、童年期未服用过兴奋剂药物的多动个体,以及39名在年龄、性别、智商和社会经济阶层方面与之匹配的对照对象,测量了身高、体重、脉搏率和血压。两组之间的生理指标没有显著差异。多动个体和对照对象似乎在17至24岁时都已达到生长稳定期,不过达到稳定期的确切时间尚未确定。童年期服用过吩噻嗪类药物的多动个体比从未服用过药物的个体显著更高(P<0.046)。这一发现可能反映了吩噻嗪类药物在生长关键期对生长的刺激作用,但对此发现需要进行更详细的研究。从未服用过兴奋剂药物的多动个体所获得的生理指标,为评估服用过此类药物的多动个体的各项数值提供了一个重要的基线。
