Sexual offending runs in families : a 37-year nationwide study
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-11-29)BACKGROUND: Sexual crime is an important public health concern. The possible causes of sexual aggression, however, remain uncertain. METHODS: We examined familial aggregation and the contribution of genetic and ... -
Colorectal cancer prognosis following obesity surgery in a population-based cohort study
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2016-11-28)BACKGROUND: Obesity surgery involves mechanical and physiological changes of the gastrointestinal tract that might promote colorectal cancer progression. Thus, we hypothesised that obesity surgery is associated with poorer ... -
Risks of psychiatric disorders and suicide attempts in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes : a population-based cohort study
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-04-28)Objective: To assess the risk of psychiatric disorders and suicide attempts in children with type 1 diabetes and their healthy siblings. Research Design and Methods: We performed a population-based case cohort study ... -
Impact of asthma medication and familial factors on the association between childhood asthma and attention-defict/hyperactivity disorder : a combined twin- and register-based study
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-04-26)BACKGROUND: Asthma and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are prevalent in childhood and may cause functional impairment and stress in families. Previous research supports an association between asthma and ... -
Further investigations of the relation between polymorphisms in sex steroid related genes and autistic-like traits
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-03-21)Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are more prevalent in boys than in girls, indicating that high levels of testosterone during early development may be a risk factor. Evidence for this hypothesis comes from studies showing ... -
Familial risks of Tourette syndrome and chronic tic disorders : a population-based cohort study
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-03-17)Importance: Chronic Tic Disorders (CTD), including Tourette Syndrome (TS), are assumed to be strongly familial and heritable. While gene-searching efforts are well underway, precise estimates of familial risk and heritability ... -
Heritability and confirmation of genetic association studies for childhood asthma in twins.
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-03-17)BACKGROUND: Although the genetics of asthma has been extensively studied using both quantitative and molecular genetic analysis methods, both approaches lack studies specific to the childhood phenotype and including other ... -
Common psychiatric disorders share the same genetic origin : a multivariate sibling study of the Swedish population
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-03-15)Recent studies have shown that different mental-health problems appear to be partly influenced by the same set of genes, which can be summarized by a general genetic factor. To date, such studies have relied on surveys of ... -
Heritability of perinatal depression and genetic overlap with nonperinatal depression
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-03-15)OBJECTIVE: The authors investigated the relative importance of genetic and environmental influences on perinatal depression, and the genetic overlap between perinatal depression and nonperinatal depression. METHOD: ... -
Longitudinal stability of genetic and environmental influences on irritability : from childhood to young adulthood
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-03-10)OBJECTIVE: Little is known about genetic influences on juvenile irritability and whether such influences are developmentally stable and/or dynamic. This study examined the temporal pattern of genetic and environmental ... -
Depression and violence : a Swedish population study
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-03-10)BACKGROUND: Depression increases the risk of a range of adverse outcomes including suicide, premature mortality, and self-harm, but associations with violent crime remain uncertain. We aimed to determine the risks of violent ... -
Childhood neurodevelopmental problems and adolescent bully victimization : population-based, prospective twin study in Sweden
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-03-10)Bully victimization is a common problem among children with neurodevelopmental disorders, including attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. Previous research was mostly cross-sectional and ... -
Association study between autistic-like traits and polymorphisms in the autism candidate regions RELN, CNTNAP2, SHANK3, and CDH9/10
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-03-10)Background: Autistic-like traits (ALTs) are continuously distributed in the general population, with the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at the upper extreme end. A genetic overlap has been shown between ALTs and ASD, ... -
Codevelopment of ADHD and externalizing behavior from childhood to adulthood
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-03-02)BACKGROUND: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) frequently co-occurs with externalizing disorders, but a clear understanding of the etiologic underpinnings is hampered by the limited understanding of the ... -
A longitudinal study of resting heart rate and violent criminality in more than 700 000 men
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-03-02)IMPORTANCE: Low resting heart rate is a well-replicated physiological correlate of aggressive and antisocial behavior in children and adolescents, but whether low resting heart rate increases the risk of violence and other ... -
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and risk for substance use disorders in relatives
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-03-01)BACKGROUND: Previous research indicates that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is highly associated with substance use disorders (SUD). However, these studies have failed to clarify the nature of the overlap. ... -
Improving risk assessment in schizophrenia : epidemiological investigation of criminal history factors
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-03-01)BACKGROUND: Violence risk assessment in schizophrenia relies heavily on criminal history factors. AIMS: To investigate which criminal history factors are most strongly associated with violent crime in schizophreni ... -
Autism spectrum disorders and coexisting disorders in a nationwide Swedish twin study
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-02-26)Introduction: Evidence from twin and molecular genetic studies is accumulating that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) shares substantial etiological factors with other disorders. This is mirrored in clinical practice where ... -
