Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of the Abecedarian (ABCD) approach on intelligence and physical development of infants, in order to provide scientific reference for facilitating the early development of children. Methods A total of 61 infants who was born from June 2017 to February 2019, took the first 42 days of physical examination in Maanshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and voluntarily participate in ABCD training, were enrolled as intervention group.And 61 infants at the same period were as control group.All infants were followed up to 9 months old.Data of body weight, length and head circumference were collected, and intellectual development was assessed using developmental screening test(DST) for child under six.Child health care management checklist was used to collect data on social demography and infant information.Chi-square, t-test and linear regression were used to analyze data. Results The scores of development quotient (DQ) and mental index (MI) in the intervention group were 99.25±12.13 and 102.98±10.10, respectively, which were 6.45 in DQ and 5.78 in MI significantly higher than the control group(t=3.100, 3.174, P<0.05).Linear regression analysis showed that the intervention was a determinant of infant intelligence development (DQ:B=0.263, 95%CI:1.96—10.51, P<0.05;MI: B=0.243, 95%CI:1.37—8.73, P<0.05).However, there was no significant difference on body weight, length and head circumference between the two groups at 9 months old (t=0.382, -0.254, -1.873, P>0.05). Conclusion Infant health care integrated with the abecedarian approach (ABCD) has a positive role in promoting the development of intelligence, which is suitable for further promotion and application.
