Ngokocwaningo olusha oluxhaswe yiNational Institutes of Health (NIH), kungase kube nokuhlobana phakathi kwezimo ezithile ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa komama, njengokukhuluphala kanye nesifo sikashukela sokukhulelwa, kanye nokuziphatha okuhlobene ne-Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ebuntwaneni.
Ucwaningo lwaluhlanganisa ababambiqhaza abacishe babe ngu-7,000 abavela kumathonya angu-40 we-NIH Ezemvelo kumaqoqo e-Child Health Outcomes (ECHO). Amaqembu ayisishiyagalombili ahlanganisa ababambiqhaza abanamathuba akhulayo okuba ne-ASD. Abacwaningi baqoqe idatha ngezimo zempilo kamama ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa, ukuziphatha komphakathi okuhlobene ne-autism kwengane, kanye nezibalo zabantu ababambiqhaza.
Ucwaningo luphakamise ukuthi ukukhuluphala komama nesifo sikashukela sokukhulelwa kuhlotshaniswa nezinkomba zokuziphatha okuhlobene ne-autism. Abaphenyi abazange babone ukwanda kwalokhu kuziphatha ezinganeni zomama abane-preeclampsia noma umfutho wegazi ophakeme wokukhulelwa. Abukho ubufakazi obuqinile obubonisa ukuthi izici ezihlobene ne-ASD zazihlobene nokuzalwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi noma isisindo sokuzalwa esiphansi, okuyizinkinga ezivamile zalezi zimo zokukhulelwa.
Funda kabanzi mayelana nalolu cwaningo ngokusebenzisa inkulumo ye-flash ehlobene.
"Ukuphenya ukuthi ukuchayeka, izimo zezempilo, kanye nezici zobungozi zihlobana kanjani kulo lonke uhla olugcwele lokusatshalaliswa kwemiphumela kungasisiza ukuthi sifunde okwengeziwe ngohlobo lwalobu budlelwano nomthelela wabo kubantu," kusho uKristen Lyall, iScD yaseDrexel University.
UDkt. Lyall noChristine Ladd-Acosta, PhD wase-Johns Hopkins University, bobabili bangabaphenyi be-ECHO Program futhi bahole lo mzamo wokusebenzisana. Ucwaningo lwabo lushicilelwe ku-American Journal of Epidemiology.
"Imiphumela yethu igqamisa isidingo sokunakekelwa okungcono kwangaphambi kokubeletha kanye nokuqapha okwengeziwe kwabesifazane abahlangabezana nezimo ezifana nokukhuluphala ngokweqile ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa," kusho uDkt. Ladd-Acosta.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- “Investigating how exposures, health conditions, and risk factors relate across the full range of the outcome distribution may help us learn more about the nature of these relationships and their impact on the population,”.
- Ngokocwaningo olusha oluxhaswe yiNational Institutes of Health (NIH), kungase kube nokuhlobana phakathi kwezimo ezithile ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa komama, njengokukhuluphala kanye nesifo sikashukela sokukhulelwa, kanye nokuziphatha okuhlobene ne-Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ebuntwaneni.
- There was no strong evidence to suggest that ASD-related traits were related to preterm birth or low birth weight, which are common complications of these pregnancy conditions.
