目的在这项纵向研究中，我们应用线性回归分析来检验出生季节与中年早期注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）症状的关系。方法我们收集了从青春期到中年早期社区居住的男性和女性（N = 548）的前瞻性队列的纵向数据。研究结果表明，与夏季出生的参与者相比，春季出生的参与者（Beta = 0.34;t-statistic = 3.59;p< 0.001）明显有更多的ADHD症状。此外，母亲在青春期吸烟显著增强了出生季节与中年早期ADHD症状之间的关系（p< 0.01）。结论母亲吸烟等适应不良行为的增加，可能会导致其更容易受到其他环境风险因素（如出生季节）的影响。
ObjectiveIn this longitudinal study, we applied linear regression analyses to examine season of birth as related to symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in early midlife.MethodWe gathered longitudinal data on a prospective cohort of community-dwelling men and women (N = 548) followed from adolescence to early midlife.FindingsThe findings indicate that, as compared with participants who were born in the summer, those who were born in the spring (Beta = 0.34; t-statistic = 3.59;p< 0.001) had significantly more ADHD symptoms. In addition, exposure to maternal cigarette smoking in adolescence significantly intensified (p< 0.01) the association between season of birth and ADHD symptoms in early midlife.ConclusionThese findings suggest that exposure to greater maternal maladaptive behaviors, such as cigarette smoking, may result in a greater vulnerability to other environmental risk factors, such as season of birth.
