Woman body and intelligence are related?

The United States to a new study shows, with grows into hips slender waist of the "hourglass"-shaped body in women than in "apple" shaped body and the "bucket" shape of the female body is more intelligent, often born children have higher IQs. Scientists believe that may have "hourglass" shape of female buttocks body has more Omega-3 fatty acids. The study results were published in the recent "Evolution and Human Behavior," Journal.

 The ideal waist-hip ratio

Previous research found that men are "inherently" like those hip and waist circumference differ to a great woman. Although there are many theories that such women more prone to pregnancy, easy to produce and long life, but no one can explain why men like to build a good woman.

 

Now, was initiated by the University of Pittsburgh and the University of California, Santa Barbara researchers to conduct new research provides a possible answer. According to reports, the researchers collected a total of 16000 women and girls in the relevant data, including measurements of their size and cognitive test scores.

 

The study found large differences in waist circumference and hip women in the test scores significantly higher than that little difference between waist and hip women. In addition, their children also achieved higher test scores. These women are not very thin, the key is their waist is much smaller than the hips, waist and hip ratio is between 0.6 ~ 0.7.

 

The researchers believe that women plump buttocks and thighs can be saved a lot of fat, which contains the Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may be more, and this unsaturated fatty acids for fetal brain development during pregnancy is very important.

 

　　"Curve beauty" who have a physical advantage

In contrast, waist fat contains Omega-6 fatty acids, not suitable for fetal brain development. Waist fat may also cause diabetes and heart disease. The skinny women and the "bucket" shape of the Women's lack of certain types of fat.

 

The researchers said that this is also from another point of view explains why wealthy men like the curves of the female body. The study for men and women like to have curves of the United States provide a physiological basis.

 

Report pointed out that if the study is true, then there are curves of body plump Italian actress Sophia Loren is not only looks Jiaohao, she has the possibility of a higher IQ. The tall thin narrow Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman is the lack of essential fatty acids.

 

Although these theories yet to be confirmed, but the psychologist Paul Lahor, said: "This study shows that women are more smart and sexy, indicating a good female body in addition to child-rearing, may also be good at other things." Physiology expert Harry Dr. Witschel, said: "So far, we can say that a good body of women in Western societies have an advantage, and its essence is that they physically have an advantage."

 

　Teenage mother, the lack of fatty acids

The study also explains very well why the teenage birth mother of young children in the lower scores on cognitive tests, because the young mother may not have saved enough enough useful fatty acids.

 

Scientists believe that mothers of young children birth of cognitive development has been weakened, and with those women who have children later than their own cognitive development is impaired. Studies have shown that those who shape the young mothers give birth to good children are not the phenomenon, their cognitive performance is not bad.
