Abstract

Age Factors Cross-Sectional Studies Bias Humans Middle Aged Risk Factors Life Tables Schizophrenic Psychology Schizophrenia - epidemiology Incidence Schizophrenia - etiology Adult Aged Seasons
Contrary to the position taken by Lewis (1989), several articles have demonstrated an association between season of birth and the risk of schizophrenia after controlling for the age-incidence effect. The method used by Pulver et al. (1983) was misinterpreted by Lewis. Clarification of this method is provided along with additional references related to the season-of-birth issue.
