这里是丁香园「医周一句 · Clinical Pearls」栏目的第 34 期。今天我们来聊聊身高与卒中的关系。
身高绝大多数与基因相关,如果孩子长不高,或许首先你会想到孩子以后工作、对象好不好找。但是你是否想过,身高可能还与身体健康息息相关?
近期,著名医学杂志 Stroke 发表了一篇文章,说孩子个头矮,可能会使长大后卒中风险增高。
让我们来看看原文是如何描述的:
A prospective study examined data on more than 300,000 Danish schoolchildren – born between 1930-1989 who were examined at ages 7, 10 and 13.
Researchers noted that boys and girls who were 2 to 3 inches shorter than average for their age were at increased risk of clot-related (ischemic) stroke in adult men and women and of bleeding stroke in men.
Our study suggests that short height in children is a possible marker of stroke risk and suggests these children should pay extra attention to changing or treating modifiable risk factors for stroke throughout life to reduce the chances of having this disease.
在这项纳入了 30 万名丹麦儿童的临床研究中,作者分别在孩子 7、10、13 岁进行身高测量,结果发现,那些比同龄人平均身高矮 5~8 cm 的儿童,长大后卒中风险会大大增高。
因此作者认为,对于身高较矮的孩子,应该在生活中更加注意自己的生活方式,尽量避免导致卒中的危险因素,例如吸烟、不健康饮食、肥胖、过量饮酒等。(责任编辑:shamouer)
