A dog could be a baby's best friend, according to a study in the medical journal Pediatrics.
医学杂志《儿科学》(Pediatrics)上发布的一项研究报告显示,狗可能是婴儿最好的朋友。
Infants living in households with dogs were healthier and had fewer ear infections than those without a dog, the study found. Researchers also found that cats appeared to offer some protection, but the link wasn't as strong.
该研究发现,养狗家庭的婴儿比无狗家庭的婴儿更健康,并且也较少患耳部炎症。研究人员还发现,猫似乎能提供一些保护,但两者的关联没那么强。
The study, posted online Monday and based on 397 children who lived in rural and suburban parts of Finland, examined whether contact with dogs and cats during a baby's first year offers any protection from respiratory tract infections, such as colds and resulting common ear infections. 'The children having dogs at home were healthier, they had less ear infections and they needed less antibiotics,' said Eija Bergroth, the study's lead author and a pediatrician affiliated with Kuopio University Hospital in Kuopio, Finland.
这份7月9日上线的研究报告追踪了生活在芬兰乡村和郊区的397名儿童,考查了婴儿一岁以内与猫狗的接触是否能保护其免遭呼吸道感染的侵害,例如感冒和常见的并发耳部感染。报告首席作者、芬兰库奥皮奥大学医院(Kuopio University Hospital)的儿科大夫艾嘉•伯格罗斯(Eija Bergroth)说,养狗家庭的小孩更健康,他们患耳炎的情况较少,需要的抗生素也比较少。
