Parental age was detailed from medical records of all children treated or observed as inpatients at the Child and Youth Psychiatric University Clinic of Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1975, and compared with corresponding figures for parental age of children in the general population. Psychotic children and psychotic adolescents tended to have mothers (and fathers) who were older than average. Sixty per cent of mothers of psychotic children were 30 years or older at the time of birth of the child compared with 27% of children in the general population. Children with emotional disorders showed the same mean maternal age as average children in the population. It is suggested that children and adolescents with psychotic disorders have a higher level of "organic" background factors than children with other kinds of child psychiatric disorders.
通过瑞典哥德堡大学儿童与青少年精神科临床中心1975年收治或观察的所有住院儿童的病历，详细记录了他们父母的年龄，并与普通人群中儿童父母年龄的相应数据进行了比较。患有精神病的儿童和青少年的母亲（和父亲）往往比平均年龄大。患有精神病的儿童的母亲中，60%在孩子出生时年龄为30岁或以上，而普通人群中这一比例为27%。患有情绪障碍的儿童的母亲平均年龄与普通人群中的儿童相同。有人认为，患有精神疾病的儿童和青少年比患有其他类型儿童精神疾病的儿童具有更高水平的“器质性”背景因素。
