- Title
Evidence of a dose-response relationship between urbanicity during upbringing and schizophrenia risk.
- Authors
Pedersen, C B; Mortensen, P B
- Abstract
Many studies have demonstrated that an urban birth or upbringing increases schizophrenia risk, but no studies have been able to distinguish between these effects. The objectives of this study were to discriminate the effect of urbanicity at birth from an effect of urbanicity during upbringing, and to identify particularly vulnerable age periods and a possible dose-response relationship between urbanicity during upbringing and schizophrenia risk.
