Description
Trine Lise Bakken, Magnus Sandberg, and Anna Axmon compare schizophrenia rates in Swedes with intellectual disability against the wider public in a 2024 register study. How often the illness strikes this group, by age band, was barely known. They tracked a whole county's records over eight years to close the gap.
The disability cohort held near fifteen thousand people, set against more than a million county peers. Schizophrenia spectrum diagnoses sat at about seven percent in the disability group, more than eight times the public rate. The risk ran highest in children, near nine times the public rate. People with Down syndrome carried more than double the public risk. Added autism or a gene syndrome did not change the count, the authors report.
