Using Danish data on >3M people, we estimate absolute and relative risks, heritability & non-familial cases

[Esben Agerbo @eagerbo]

💡Why it matters:
• Family history alone can’t identify most cases
• We need both population-level and personalized strategies

[Esben Agerbo @eagerbo]

Highly heritable: 45% (depression) to 77% (cannabis use disorder)

[Esben Agerbo @eagerbo]

People with affected 1st/2nd-degree relatives have higher risk
• Yet most cases are non-familial:
 ▫ 89% schizophrenia
 ▫ 60% depression
 ▫ 96% schizoaffective

📌Key findings:
• Mental disorders are highly heritable – but most cases have no family history

@madseriksen1208 Man bliver ikke god til fodbold ved FIFA på Nintendo, ligesom man ikke bliver god til matematik med en pc-app

@mogens_fosgerau Jeg tror, jeg har set et paper om, at lukning af trafik på Manhattan førte til langsommere trafik og øget luftforurening i forstæderne, fx Bronx og Queens, hvilket dermed medførte en skæv social slagside.

@probnstat Too bad the maximum likelihood estimator divides by n instead of n−1 in the most simple of all cases: the normal distribution

[Esben Agerbo @eagerbo]

@m_nordentoft Super impressive and totally deserved! Besides being a rockstar researcher, you have always had your heart in the right place (as we say in Danish😀)
