根据JAMA网络开放的一项研究,在15岁之前使用大麻的青少年更有可能在青壮年面临身心健康挑战。 Teens who use cannabis before age 15 are more likely to face mental and physical health challenges in young adulthood, according to a study in JAMA Network Open. 研究人员分析了魁北克1,500多名个人的数据,发现早期、频繁使用者接受心理健康护理的风险高51%,身体健康问题的风险高86%,即使根据家庭冲突、欺凌和社会因素进行调整后也是如此。 Analyzing data from over 1,500 individuals in Quebec, researchers found that early, frequent users had a 51% higher risk of mental health care use and an 86% higher risk for physical health issues, even after adjusting for family conflict, bullying, and social factors. 身体问题包括呼吸道问题和事故,可能与中毒或戒酒有关。 Physical problems included respiratory issues and accidents, possibly tied to intoxication or withdrawal. 专家说,青少年大脑仍在发育,经常使用大麻可能会扰乱对决策、情感调控和冲动控制至关重要的领域。 Experts say the adolescent brain is still developing, and regular cannabis use may disrupt areas critical for decision-making, emotion regulation, and impulse control. 研究结果补充了早期使用会增加长期健康风险的证据,并强调延迟使用的重要性。 The findings add to evidence that early use increases long-term health risks and underscore the importance of delaying use.
