Children seen in the first part of the study in Berlin, Dundee and Odense
were followed up at age 18 months and tested using the Bayley Scales of
Infant Development. Five scores were recorded: the Mental Development Index
(MDI), the Psychomotor Development Index (PDI) and scores for
responsiveness, attention span and activity. The data were analysed for the
centres combined and separately, allowing for confounding variables as in
the previous chapter. In none of the comparisons was the mean score found
to be significantly less in the children of drinkers than in those of
abstainers. In many of the comparisons the children of abstainers had the
lowest mean scores. In a number of comparisons in Berlin and Dundee, the
MDI or PDI was found to be significantly higher in the children of women
who had drunk at the upper end of the consumption distribution.
