The temporal relationship of the onsets of alcohol dependence and major depression: using a genetically informative study design.

Psychological medicine - 1 Aug 2006

Kuo Po-Hsiu, Gardner Charles O, Kendler Kenneth S, Prescott Carol A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Although alcohol dependence (AD) and major depression (MD) are highly co-morbid, their causal relationship is unclear. In this longitudinal study, we used a genetically informative population-based twin sample to examine the age-at-onset distributions and the temporal relationship of AD and MD. METHOD: Our sample included 7477 twins, whose diagnoses of AD and MD and age-at-onset information were...
