Ment Retard. 1993 Jun;31(3):140-3.
The etiology of and suspected risk factors leading to mild mental retardation were analyzed in unselected series of 109 Bahraini school children with this condition born between 1967 and 1982. The cause was considered to be prenatal in 38.5% of the children; perinatal (asphyxia and prematurity), in 11.9%; and postnatal, in 7.4%. In 42% the cause was untraceable. Predisposing background factors associated with mild mental retardation were compared with characteristics of a matched control group from community schools. An illiterate father, consanguinity, and a relative with mental retardation were significantly more common among the sample with mild mental retardation. These results are not consistent with the view that mild retardation is predominantly cultural-familial and not pathological in nature.
对1967年至1982年间出生的109名患有轻度智力发育迟缓的巴林学童进行了分析，这些儿童未经挑选，分析了导致轻度智力发育迟缓的病因及疑似风险因素。病因被认为是产前的儿童占38.5%；围产期（窒息和早产）的占11.9%；产后的占7.4%。42%的病因无法查明。将与轻度智力发育迟缓相关的诱发背景因素与来自社区学校的匹配对照组的特征进行了比较。在轻度智力发育迟缓样本中，文盲父亲、近亲结婚以及有智力发育迟缓亲属的情况明显更为常见。这些结果与轻度智力发育迟缓主要是文化家族性而非病理性的观点不一致。
