OBJECTIVE
The relationship between suicide and social class has been equivocal. While some authors have reported that higher social class is related to higher rates of suicide, most other studies report that lower social class is associated with higher rates of suicide. Our study attempted to resolve these inconsistencies by using a High Risk for schizophrenia method.
METHOD
Children of women with severe schizophrenia were assessed in 1962. In 2005, when subjects were a mean age of 58 years, we identified those who had committed suicide.
RESULTS
A higher rate of suicide was associated with risk for schizophrenia in the High-Risk sample. Higher social class origin was associated with suicide in persons at risk for mental illness.
CONCLUSION
Higher social class origin was associated with suicide in subjects at genetic risk for schizophrenia (but not those without risk).
目的
自杀与社会阶层之间的关系一直不明确。虽然一些作者报告称较高的社会阶层与较高的自杀率相关，但大多数其他研究报告称较低的社会阶层与较高的自杀率相关。我们的研究试图通过使用精神分裂症高危方法来解决这些不一致之处。
方法
1962年对患有严重精神分裂症女性的子女进行了评估。2005年，当受试者的平均年龄为58岁时，我们确定了那些自杀的人。
结果
在高危样本中，较高的自杀率与精神分裂症风险相关。较高的社会阶层出身与有精神疾病风险的人的自杀相关。
结论
较高的社会阶层出身与有精神分裂症遗传风险的受试者的自杀相关（但与无风险的受试者无关）。
