左撇子影響身心健康
With just 10% of the population being left-handed, it can be easy for everyone else to forget we're living in a right-handed world. But aside from making it tough to cut a straight line with a pair of scissors designed for righties, being a southpaw can also have some subtle effects on our physical and mental health.
由于左撇子在人口中比例僅為10%，所以人們很容易忽略這樣一個(gè)事實(shí)，即自己正生活在一個(gè)左撇子的世界。除了能夠輕易地將自己同一般人區(qū)分開來之外，左撇子的習(xí)慣對(duì)個(gè)人的身體和心理健康還有著微妙的影響。
The brains and bodies of lefties may operate differently than those of right-handed people (and in mixed-handed people, who may have different dominant hands for different tasks). "Handedness seems to be determined very early on in fetal development, when a lot of other things about your future are being determined as well," says Ronald Yeo, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Texas-Austin. Here's a look at some of the most common facts about being left-handed, and what it might really mean for your health.

It's not just genetics
左撇子不一定都是遺傳因素導(dǎo)致的。
Scientists aren't exactly sure why some people are left-handed, but they know that genes are responsible about 25% of the time, says Yeo. Left-handedness does tend to run in families, he says, "but noticeably less than other inherited traits, like height or intelligence."

It's linked to stress in pregnancy
左撇子與懷孕期間的壓力有關(guān)。
In one British study, the fetuses of super-stressed pregnant women were more likely to touch their faces more with their left hands than their right. This could be the first signs of a left-handed child, say the researchers. Other evidence supports that theory. In one 2008 Swedish study of moms and their 5-year-old children, women who were depressed or stressed during their pregnancies were more likely to have mixed- or left-handed kids. In other studies, babies with low birth weight, or born to older mothers, were more likely to be lefties as well.
英國一項(xiàng)研究顯示，壓力較大的孕婦生出的孩子 更傾向于用左手摸臉。這可能是左撇子在嬰幼兒時(shí)期的第一個(gè)征兆。而其他研究結(jié)果也證實(shí)了這一結(jié)論。2008年，瑞典的一項(xiàng)研究顯示，孕期較為壓抑或壓力較 大的婦女，她們的寶寶成為左撇子或雙撇子的可能性更大。其他研究還顯示，出生時(shí)體重較低的嬰兒或高齡產(chǎn)婦生產(chǎn)的嬰兒成為左撇子的幾率更大。
