发表于《英国医学杂志》的报告显示:1997年1月1日前去世的调查对象11岁时的平均智商远远低于当时还健在的和没接受追踪调查的群体,数据表明,如果一个人在童年后期表现出较高的心智能力,76岁前死亡的几率会有所降低。
The numbers crunched by Lawrence Whalley from the University of Aberdeen and Ian Deary from the University of Edinburgh show that someone with an IQ of 115 at age 11 was 21 percent more likely to be alive at the age of 76 than someone with an IQ of 100 (the general average), as David Z. Hambrick at Scientific American reports.
《科学美国人》的戴维·汉布里克报道称,由阿伯丁大学的劳伦斯·沃利和爱丁堡大学的伊恩·蒂尔瑞估算的数据显示,智商值为115的11岁儿童活到76岁的几率比智商值为100(平均水平)的儿童高21%。
We don't yet understand why this is the case, but more than 20 longitudinal studies (studies with data points covering a long period of time) carried out around the world have found similar links.
这一现象是如何产生的呢?我们也尚未发现原因所在,但是全世界20多个纵向追踪研究都发现智商与寿命间有类似的关联, 这些研究数据均来自长时间的调查。
There are some interesting hypotheses: one is that intelligent people are more likely to strap themselves in while driving, choose to eat a healthy diet, avoid smoking, and exercise more often. Whalley and Deary found that those with a higher IQ were more likely to quit smoking after its negative health effects were publicised in the 1950s. In other words, smart people might just be better at avoiding things that are going to kill them.
