《中英對照讀新聞》Later puberty in stable family 生活在穩定家庭較晚熟

◎鄭寺音

Girls who live in stable, supportive homes may experience puberty later than those who come from more stressful backgrounds, US research suggests.

生活在安穩、有人呵護的家庭的女孩，可能比來自成長背景較有壓力的女孩晚熟，美國研究顯示。

A study of 180 girls from preschool to the age of 10 found those from families with less marital conflict tended to mature later than some peers.

一份針對180名學齡前到10歲女孩的研究發現，來自婚姻衝突較少的家庭的女孩，會比一些同儕晚熟。

The Child Development study is the latest into what may cause early puberty.The study from the Universities of Arizona and Wisconsin-Madison found parental supportiveness, less marital conflict and depression may play a key in the later onset of puberty.

這份「孩童發展」研究是針對早熟可能原因的最新研究。這份亞利桑納與威斯康辛大學麥迪遜分校所作的研究發現，父母的照護、較少的婚姻衝突與憂鬱，可能是導致青春期較晚開始的一項重要因素。

The researchers speculated in more stressful environments, children are forced to grow up quicker, and adapt their sexual development in response to the conditions in which they live.

研究人員猜想，在越有壓力的環境，孩童被迫越快的長大，使他們調整性發展以適應所處的環境。

But they also found that that those children whose mothers had started puberty later, whose families were better off-at least when the children were very young-and who had a lower body mass index （BMI） at age eight matured later.

但他們也發現，母親青春期較晚開始、家庭比較富裕—至少當這些小孩非常小的時候—以及8歲時身體質量指數較低的孩子，也成熟的比較晚。
