A family history study of 112 anxiety neurotics and 110 surgical controls showed that the morbidity risk for anxiety neurosis among first-degree relatives of neurotics was 18% compared to 3% among control relatives. Relatives of anxiety neurotics were also shown to be at higher risk for the development of alcoholism. Female relatives were found to be at greater risk than male relatives, reflecting their increased susceptibility to the illness. These data confirm previous findings of an increased familial prevalence of anxiety neurosis.
一项针对112名焦虑神经症患者和110名外科手术对照者的家族史研究表明，神经症患者一级亲属中焦虑神经症的发病风险为18%，而对照者亲属中的这一比例为3%。焦虑神经症患者的亲属患酒精中毒的风险也更高。研究发现女性亲属比男性亲属风险更大，这反映出她们对该疾病的易感性增加。这些数据证实了先前关于焦虑神经症家族患病率增加的研究结果。
