“…Whether infantile eczema patients are, in fact, more intelligent than the average child is open to discussion. Piness, Miller & Sullivan (1937) and Chobot, Spadevecchia & De Sanctis (1959) found the intelligence ratings of allergic children to be normal, whereas Bayleat (1929) and Stokes et al (1940) suggested a higher than average intelligence. Unfortunately, it was not felt possible in this survey to conduct I.Q.…”

A 15-17 year follow-up study was conducted on ninety-nine patients who had suffered from infantile eczema. The persistance of the eczema and the occurrence of related conditions were noted. The persistence of eczema was shown to be greater in those patients with a positive family history of eczema and in those who had developed asthma or hay-fever. An attempt was made to see if the persistence of eczema was affected by the position of the child in the family, and some factors provoking relapses were noted. The patients were also questioned with regard to their achievements in academic examinations, and to their social, artistic and sporting activities. The results showed a success rate in examinations not significantly higher than average. It was not possible to show if there is a particular type of atopic personality. There was no constant characteristic in social or artistic patterns. The group as a whole were normal at the milestones of early development, i.e. walking, talking and reading, and also normal with regard to weight and height.

“…Another study of similar type by Klineberg, Fjeld, and Foley (2, pp. 251-255) emphasizing personality rather than intellectual traits 4 showed not a single difference for either males or females between leptosome and pyknic types. Since a total of thirty comparisons were made, fifteen for each sex, the lack of any significant differences between the groups selected especially for marked physical differences is a striking finding.…”

“…Pearson ( 553) is quoted as stating that "health and intelligence are correlated, although not very markedly." Balyeat (545,546) finds that allergic children are definitely superior to non-allergic in mental activity. An investigation by Hoefer and Hardy (558) shows that breast feeding, when not continued too long, has a favorable influence upon the intellectual ability of children.…”
