与焦虑相关的疾病是现代社会更常见的疾病之一,据推测,其流行部分是由于环境因素造成的,这表明焦虑可能是因当前生活方式与我们的基因适应之间的不和谐(不利的不匹配)而加剧的健康问题之一。因此,从进化医学的角度寻找预防措施是可能的。我认为,与焦虑相关的问题的普遍存在反映了与恐惧功能相关的时间回路和内分泌活动已经超出正常范围。此外,这种扩张是由于过度或异常触发造成的,特别是在很小的时候。可能造成的不和谐。例如目前的儿童保育做法。将进行讨论。 (c) 2004 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Anxiety-related disorders are among the more common ailments of modern societies, Presumably, their prevalence is partly due to environmental factors, which suggests that anxiety may be one of the health problems that are aggravated by discords (adverse mismatches) between the present way of life and what our genes are adapted to. Consequently, it may be possible to find preventive measures by using the perspective of evolutionary medicine. I shall argue that the prevalence of anxiety-related problems reflects that the time circuitry and endocrine activity associated with the fear function have developed beyond normal. Moreover, that this expansion is due to excessive or abnormal triggering, particularly at an early age. Possible discords that may be responsible. such as present child care practices. will be discussed. (c) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
