One's birthdate has already been linked to such things as temperament. Now researchers in Taiwan report in the Journal of Pediatrics that we can add ADHD to the list. 事实上，一个人的出生日期与其性格品性等方面都存在一定的联系。最近，台湾研究人员在《中华儿科杂志》发表的一篇研究报告指出，出生日期与患得多动症之间也具有一定联系。 When looking at 378,881 children ages 4 to 17 at some point between 1997 to 2011, they found that preschool and elementary school-age children born in August were 1.65 times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD and 1.73 times more likely to be put on medication than kids born in September—who, because of school cutoff dates similar to those in the US, tend to be nearly a year older than their August counterparts. 研究人员观察了378881位出生年份在1997年至2011年间的孩子，他们的年龄分别在4至17岁之间不等。在观察后他们发现，那些出生在8月的学前班儿童和小学生患得ADHD（多动症）的概率比那些9月份出生的孩子要高1.65倍，今后接受药物治疗的可能性也要比那些9月份出生的孩子高出1.73倍。由于中国学校入学的截止日期与美国基本相同，因此学校内那些9月份出生的孩子普遍比那些在8月份出生的孩子年长一岁。 |
