Abstract
The incidence of schizophrenia is higher among persons born in winter. This is explained with respiratory infections in pregnancy, which are more common in urban areas with high population density. Our aim is to assess the influence of population density on incidence and seasonal pattern of schizophrenia in Slovenia. We will include patients with schizophrenia discharged between 1987 and 1996 from the University Psychiatric Hospital in Ljubljana. The observed and expected incidence of patients with schizophrenia will be compared between urban, semi-urban and rural environments. In case of familial occurence of schizophrenia special attention will be paid to identifying possible anticipation - earlier onset and more severe course of illness in subsequent generations.
