Couldn't Walk At Twelve Months? It Could Still Be Affecting You
How well and how quickly you developed as a baby affects your physical well-being in midlife, according to new research.
Reuters says that researchers found "those who walked and stood by 12 months of age fared better on the physical function tests in midlife, as did those who scored higher on tests of mental function at age 8 and physical coordination at age 15."
The tests -- ability to balance, and to rise from a chair -- are used as "indications of overall physical function, as well as 'underlying biologic aging processes,' Kuh and her team note in the American Journal of Epidemiology."
The team believes this work and other studies shows that early development is "tightly linked to physical and cognitive aging."
