Detailed explanation-1: -Results: The relative risk of developing schizophrenia was 1.93 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.79-2.08] and 2.96 (95% CI 2.49-3.51) among persons with one or both parents foreign-born respectively compared to native Danes.
Detailed explanation-2: -In this cohort study, we found that refugees granted asylum in a high income setting were, on average, 66% more likely to develop schizophrenia or another non-affective psychotic disorder than non-refugee migrants from the same regions of origin and up to 3.6 times more likely to do so than the Swedish-born population.
Detailed explanation-3: -Schizophrenia is more common in winter and spring births. Children whose mothers experienced famine during the first trimester are more likely to develop schizophrenia. Pregnancy and birth complications increase the risk of developing schizophrenia.
Detailed explanation-4: -Risk factors Having a family history of schizophrenia. Some pregnancy and birth complications, such as malnutrition or exposure to toxins or viruses that may impact brain development. Taking mind-altering (psychoactive or psychotropic) drugs during teen years and young adulthood.
