Genetics and education are often cited as the biggest influences on intelligence, but a new study claims that disease has far more sway on IQ than either of these。

据英国《每日邮报》9月7日报道，人们通常认为基因和受教育程度对人的智力影响最大，但一项新的研究表明，疾病对人智商的影响远远超过这两者。

Scientists from the University of New Mexico analyzed IQs across the United States and declared that exposure to infectious disease had a huge effect on brain power。

They say the reason for this is that humans – and especially children – devote a great deal of energy running their brains. If a disease crops up that diverts that energy, then intelligence inevitably suffers。

科学家称得出这个结论的原因是，人类，特别是儿童总是把大量能量投入到大脑运转上。如果疾病突发，它就会转移这种(运转大脑的)能量，那么智力必然就会受到损伤。

Writing in Scientific American, researcher Christopher Eppig said: "Infectious disease is a factor that may rob large amounts of energy away from a developing brain. The evidence suggests that infectious disease is a primary cause of the global variation in human intelligence."
