The Prevalence and Risk of DSM-IV Axis I Disorder in Adults with Early-life Earthquake Stress: A Cross-sectional Study.

CONCLUSION: Adults who were exposed to earthquake in the prenatal period had a significantly higher rate of schizophrenia than those who were not exposed or who experienced earthquake in their infancy. No statistically significant difference was found in the current and lifetime prevalence of other DSM-IV axis I disorders between those exposed and those not exposed to earthquake. Furthermore, prenatal earthquake stress exposure was not a significant risk of any of the lifetime or current DSD-IV axis I disorders. PMID: 31229525 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
