Birth Order and Schizophrenia

K. L. GRANVILLE-GROSSMAN M.D., M.R.C.P., D.P.M.1

1 Consultant Psychiatrist, Queen Elizabeth II Hospital, Welwyn Garden City, Herts.

Using the Greenwood-Yule method to investigate birth order, the later birth ranks and last-born position were found to be over-represented among a group of 562 male schizophrenics. No association between birth order and schizophrenia was found in a group of 682 females.

It is concluded that there is a causal relationship between birth order and schizophrenia in males.
