研究顯示試管嬰兒成長后的人有更好的生活質(zhì)量

　　IVF-conceived people have better quality of life

　　最近的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，通過生育治療受孕的成年人在成年期的生活質(zhì)量可能比自然受孕的人更好。

　　研究已經(jīng)調(diào)查了IVF受孕兒童的健康狀況，但有關(guān)成人的數(shù)據(jù)有限，因?yàn)镮VF是在1978年才開始實(shí)施的。

　　澳大利亞墨爾本莫納什大學(xué)該研究的主要作者Karin Hammarberg博士說：“我們的研究結(jié)果表明，接受ART[輔助生殖技術(shù)]可以為成年后的生活質(zhì)量提供一些優(yōu)勢，而不受其他心理社會因素的影響。”

　　該研究在兩個(gè)不同的時(shí)間點(diǎn)觀察了一組193名通過生育治療受孕的成年人和86名自然受孕的成年人：當(dāng)他們在18至28歲之間，然后在22至35歲之間。

　　該研究還表明，無論他們的受孕方法如何，在第一個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)處于更好心理和家庭環(huán)境的成年人，在第二個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)更有可能擁有更高的生活質(zhì)量。

　　“也許不足為奇的是，我們還發(fā)現(xiàn)，無論這個(gè)人是如何受孕的，與父母更好的關(guān)系、更少的心理壓力以及更好的家庭財(cái)務(wù)狀況有助于提高成年后的生活質(zhì)量，”哈馬爾伯格博士補(bǔ)充說。.

　　兩組在兩個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)的心理健康狀況均使用世界衛(wèi)生組織生活質(zhì)量-簡要評估(WHOQoL-BREF)進(jìn)行評估。它基于幸福的四個(gè)方面。身體，涉及疼痛、睡眠和能量水平；社會心理，包括關(guān)于感覺、記憶和學(xué)習(xí)的問題；社會關(guān)系，關(guān)于社會支持和關(guān)系；第四是他們周圍的環(huán)境。

　　統(tǒng)計(jì)測試表明，通過生育治療受孕的成年人在第二個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)的測試的社會關(guān)系和環(huán)境部分得分明顯更高。

　　研究人員推測，通過生育治療受孕的孩子的積極結(jié)果可能反映了這樣一個(gè)事實(shí)，即他們的父母可能對為人父母的承諾特別強(qiáng)烈。

　　兩組還在第一時(shí)間點(diǎn)完成了凱斯勒心理困擾問卷和心理健康訪談。后者包括有關(guān)性取向、財(cái)務(wù)狀況、對自己體重的看法、家庭關(guān)系、友誼和鍛煉的問題。

　　該研究發(fā)表在《人類生育力》雜志上。

　　A recent study found that adults conceived through fertility treatment may have a better quality of life in adulthood than those who were naturally conceived.

　　Research has already investigated the health of IVF-conceived children,but data about adults is limited because IVF was first implemented relatively recently,in 1978.

　　'Our findings suggest that being ART[assisted reproductive technology]-conceived can provide some advantages on quality of life in adulthood,independent of other psychosocial factors,'said Dr Karin Hammarberg,lead author of the study at Monash University,Melbourne,Australia.

　　The study looked at a group of 193 adults conceived through fertility treatment and 86 naturally conceived adults at two separate time points:when they were between 18 and 28 years old and then again between the ages of 22 and 35.

　　The study also showed that regardless of their method of conception,adults who were in a better psychological and home environment at the first time point,were more likely to have higher quality of life at the second.

　　'Perhaps unsurprisingly,we also found that,independently of how the person was conceived,having a better relationship with parents,less psychological distress,and a better family financial situation in young adulthood contributed to a better adult quality of life,'Dr Hammarberg added.

　　The psychological wellbeing of the two groups at both time points was assessed using the World Health Organisation Quality of Life–Brief Assessment(WHOQoL-BREF).It is based around four aspects of wellbeing.Physical,which concerns pain,sleep and energy levels;psychosocial,which includes questions on feelings,memory and learning;social relationships,on social support and relationships;and a fourth on their surrounding environment.

　　Statistical tests showed that adults conceived through fertility treatment had significantly higher scores in the social relationships and environment sections of the test at the second time point.

　　The researchers speculated that the positive results for children conceived through fertility treatment could reflect the fact that their parents may have a particularly strong desire for a commitment to parenthood.

　　The two groups also completed a Kessler Psychological Distress questionnaire and an interview about psychological wellbeing at the first time point.The latter included questions around sexual orientation,financial situation,perceptions of their own weight,family relationships,friendships and exercise.

　　The study was published in the journal Human Fertility.
