鈥淸Our study] draws attention to the research gap on the benefits of deworming in early childhood,鈥� Theresa W. Gyorkos, PhD, of the department of epidemiology, biostatistics and occupational health at 捆绑SM社区, Montreal, told Infectious Diseases in Children. 鈥淲hile statistically significant differences in weight and length measures 1 year later were not observed between the intervention groups compared to the placebo group, the trial results nonetheless suggest that there may be some benefit to deworming earlier rather than later (ie, at 12 months rather than at 18 months).鈥�
