  • Title: Seasonality, birth complications and schizophrenia in a high risk sample.
    Author: Machón RA, Mednick SA, Schulsinger F.
    Journal: Br J Psychiatry; 1987 Jul; 151():122-4. PubMed ID: 3676610.
    Abstract:
    It has been suggested that viral infections, more prevalent in the winter months, might increase pregnancy and birth complications, which might in turn be responsible for the excess of winter-born patients with schizophrenia. In this study it was found that the rate of schizophrenia among high risk winter-urban births who had suffered a perinatal complication was significantly greater than that for those who had not, thus supporting the hypothesis.
