Increase in schizophrenia among famine children

[dArKeR]

A study of a famine in China more than 40 years ago found that children born to severely malnourished women are more likely to develop schizophrenia.
The research bolsters the evidence that environmental factors can trigger the devastating mental illness.

Compared with children born before or after the 1959-61 famine, those born during the disaster faced double the risk of becoming schizophrenic later on.
