临床研究已证明孕妇酗酒会造成胎儿严重的,不可逆异常,即胎儿酒精综合症(FAS)。患了胎儿酒精综合症的儿童的很多机能都要受影响。最常见的表现是出生前和出生后发育障碍,体重,身高,头围减少;智能和体力低下以及特有的颅面部畸形。在美国患了胎儿酒精综合症的儿童的数目尚不清楚。由于所调查研究的地点和人口的不同,婴儿出生时胎儿酒精综合症的罹患率有很大的差异。根据美国和欧洲学界的研究,该症罹患率为1～2/1000。估计在酗酒妇女的的婴儿中,该症罹患率为23— Clinical studies have shown that alcohol abuse in pregnant women can cause fetal serious, irreversible abnormalities, namely fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Many of the functions of children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome are affected. The most common manifestations are prenatal and postnatal developmental disorders, weight, height, head circumference reduction; mental retardation and craniofacial deformities. The number of children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in the United States is unclear. Due to the location and population of the investigated study, the prevalence of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome at birth is quite different. According to studies by the American and European academic circles, the attack rate is 1 to 2/1000. It is estimated that babies born to alcohol abuse women have an attack rate of 23-
