Infant weight is related to autism

A recent study by British scientists said babies born with abnormal weight, more or less than the standard are at risk of dysfunction in the body and are susceptible to disease. autism.

Research results of experts from Manchester University (UK) said on the basis of studying medical records of more than 40,000 young people under 17 years of age, they have identified the risk of dysfunction in muscle The infant's body was born weighing less than 2.27kg up to 63% and newborns weighing 4.54 kg were 60%.

Kathryn Abel, lead researcher, said an unwell fetus will have abnormal development and that is why the baby is born at risk of dysfunction and autism.

While research is being done to accurately identify causes and remedies for autism, the number of people suffering from this disease is increasing.

According to estimates by the Centers for Disease Control in the US, an average of 88 children, 1 child has autism and the rate of development of this disease in boys is more than four times that of girls.

Autism is a combination of a series of developmental dysfunction, including states such as Asperger's syndrome and Rett's syndrome. These states are difficult to detect and the diagnosis is often inaccurate for children 2 or 3 years of age.

According to Abel expert, the treatment of autism is very difficult and scientists are working hard to further research to find solutions to this disease.

Abel said the first step experts need to do is to study more deeply for the development of the fetus, to pinpoint the exact relationship and effects of the fetus on the brain. babies in the development process.

One of the important areas of research is to monitor the health and well-being of mothers during pregnancy.
