About me

  • I am professor in genetic epidemiology and study director for postgraduate studies at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics. I am also deputy head of department and member of MEB's Executive Group.

Research

  • The work in my group is primarily concerned with using genetically informative samples (twins, families) to understand genetic and environmental influences on both health and behavior. The studies are usually based on the Swedish Twin Registry (located at the Department and comprising more than 140.000 twins) and other Swedish Registries such as the Multigenerational Register (comprising all individuals born in Sweden since 1931).

    My group performs quantitative genetic studies - that is, evaluate the relative importance of genes and environments for a phenotype - and "cotwin-control"-studies, where the importance of an exposure is evaluated after controlling for genetic predisposition for the disease. The research is interdisciplinary and includes, among others, 探花精选, genetic, epidemiological, sociological and psychological research questions.

    THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEALTH AND BEHAVIOURAL PROBLEMS IN CHILDREN
    One focus of the work in the group is to understand how genes and environments influence the development of health and behavior during childhood and adolescence. We have followed a cohort of 1.500 twin pairs longitudinally since they were 8 years old in 1994 with multiple contacts (1994, 1999, 2002, 2006, 2013) with both the parents and the twins themselves. We have studied how genetic and environmental effects contribute to the development of mental health problems over time. For example, we have found that genetic effects are more stable for ADHD (Chang, Lichtenstein et al. 2014) compared to internalizing problems (e.g., fears, anxiety) (Kendler, Gardner et al. 2008).

    THE CHILD AND ADOLESCENT TWIN STUDY IN SWEDEN (CATSS)
    In CATSS-9, we conduct a psychiatric telephone interview with parents of all 1, 400 twin pairs born in Sweden annually since 1992 in connection with their 9th birthdays. By April 2014 we have performed 13, 500 interviews with a very high response rate (鈮80%), and we have collected DNA from the twins. We follow the families with questionnaires to parents and twins at age 15 and 18. The aim is to understand how genes and environment affect different diseases and behavior during childhood and also to get information about various types of exposures. We have shown that the heritability for ASD was around 80% and that ASD had a common genetic etiology with other neuropsychiatric disorders (Lichtenstein, Carlstrom et al. 2010), that extreme values of ASD (Lundstr枚m, Chang et al. 2012) and ADHD (Larsson, Anckars盲ter et al. 2012) have the same genetic etiology as normal variation in the underlying traits, and an association between fetal growth on ASD suggesting that fetal growth is in the causal pathway (Losh, Esserman et al. 2011).

    CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF CRIMINALITY AND PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS
    To elucidate the mechanisms for the association between early risks and mental health problems as well as intergenerational transmissions of psychiatric problems, we use the large population based registries in Sweden, including, among others, information on all psychiatric care, criminal convictions and suicides in Sweden for all first-degree relatives (>15 million individuals) since 1932. Using different quasi-experimental methods we have shown that smoking during pregnancy is not causally related to offspring criminality (D'Onofrio, Singh et al., 2010), that there is a common genetic etiology between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (Lichtenstein, Yip et al, 2009), and that ADHD medication protects against criminality (Lichtenstein, Halldner et al, 2012).

    THE TWIN REGISTRY
    I was head of the Swedish Twin Registry during 2006-2013. During this time contacts with all twins not previously contacted in the Registry was completed. Now the Swedish Twin Registry contains of 200 000 twins. In addition, all twins in the Registry have had the opportunity to donate DNA for research purposes (n=40, 000).

  • Does it take a village? The role of social networks in socioeconomic fertility differentials
    Stiftelsen Riksbankens Jubileumsfond
    1 January 2024 - 31 December 2026
    In recent years, higher socioeconomic groups started to have more children than lower socioeconomic groups in Sweden and in many other developed countries. Previous research focusing on individuals as independent units had limited power in explaining this polarization in fertility. We will thus use a social network perspective to understand the role of segregated social networks in the fertility behavior of different socioeconomic groups. Using longitudinal population-level social networks consisting of multiple types of relationships (i.e. neighbors, family, and workmates), we will answer (1) how fertility behavior spreads in the social networks for different socioeconomic groups, (2) how use of assisted reproductive techniques spreads in the social networks for the different socioeconomic group, and (3) how family support in someone芒鈧劉s social network influences fertility among different socioeconomic groups. Data will be obtained from several Swedish registers. Quasi-experimental methods (i.e., instrumental variable and small unit analysis) will be applied to distinguish whether people influence each other芒鈧劉s fertility behavior or simply select their relationship based on pre-existing similarities (e.g., fertility intentions). The project will be the first to investigate the role of social networks in forming socioeconomic fertility differentials based on population-level network data, contributing to the understanding of evolving socioeconomic inequalities.

    Research problem and specific questions: The increasing use of social media and alternative nicotine products, i.e., e-cigarettes and Swedish snus, poses new threats to stall the progress of tobacco control. Vast research shows how smoking spreads in social networks, but it remains unclear how alternative nicotine products and online interactions affect this spread. Understanding the social network mechanisms underlying nicotine product use is crucial for the design of effective policies. Novel policies for adolescents are needed to prevent nicotine product use at the age when this is typically initiated, even by those who would otherwise never use cigarettes.This project will be the first to identify the network mechanisms of how various nicotine products spread among adolescents and then design a policy intervention to tackle these. We will answer (1) how different nicotine products spread and if alternative nicotine products renormalize cigarettes, (2) how cigarette use spreads online and offline, and (3) what the possible consequences of network-based interventions are, accounting for various nicotine products and online interactions.Data and method: We will collect unique complete social network data of 600 adolescents in Swedish school classes over two waves with information on online and offline social networks and nicotine product use and link this to Swedish registers. We will employ social network analysis methods: (1) exponential random graph models and stochastic-actor-oriented models to investigate the popularity and spread of nicotine products in online and offline social networks and (2) empirically calibrated agent-based models to investigate possible interventions.Societal relevance and utilization: The tobacco industry increasingly employs online campaigns and alternative nicotine products to recruit a new generation of users, but public health interventions lag behind in their response. 聽We aim to provide information on how to prioritize policy implementation to further reduce nicotine product prevalence and inequalities in nicotine product use and help to achieve Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 10.Plan for project realization: This three-year-long project will be approved by the Swedish Ethical聽 Review Authority. 聽The main costs are for researchers鈥 salaries. The research group consists of sociologists and public health experts with solid experience in collecting and analyzing longitudinal network data and child health behaviors.

    Autism is a common lifelong condition. Autistic individuals are at a high risk of somatic disorders, such as epilepsy, and are at an increased risk for premature mortality. A better understanding of co-occurring somatic disorders in autistic individuals is thus critical from the perspective of improving public health in marginalized groups, yet existing research is limited by a descriptive focus. Our overall aim is to identify risk factors for somatic disorders in autistic individuals. We will optimize Swedish registry data, including linkage with a large genotyped sample, using powerful longitudinal study designs. First, we will test whether genetic factors account for the association between autism and somatic disorders. We will triangulate three family-based designs, and utilize contemporary molecular genetic approaches to assess genetic links between autism and somatic disorders. Second, we will assess whether the psychosocial adversity faced by autistic individuals impact on their health using longitudinal cohort designs. Finally, real-world data will allow us to circumvent the challenges of conducting randomized controlled trials to examine the impact of psychotropic medication use on somatic health in autistic individuals. This project will guide the field of somatic health in autistic individuals from descriptive epidemiology towards a mechanistic understanding, which will ultimately lead to improved prevention, detection, and treatment of these disorders.

    Purpose and aims: There is so much comorbidity among psychiatric conditions that one can combine them into a single general psychopathology index. Although general psychopathology predicts adverse outcomes, it remains unknown if it responds to intervention. Therefore, we will estimate the causal effect of psychosocial interventions and psychotropic medications on general psychopathology. Method: We will apply casual inference designs (children-of-siblings design
    co-twin control/within-individual design
    instrumental variable
    and front-door criterion) to data from the Swedish Twin Register and Swedish population registers to estimate the effect of childrearing conditions (year 1), psychotherapy (years 2-3), and psychotropic medication (years 1-5) on general psychopathology (derived from self/parent-reported symptoms and psychiatric diagnoses). The principal investigator will devote 50% of his time to this project, and he is supported by experts in epidemiology, psychotherapy, and psychiatry. Importance: Even though comorbidity is the rule rather than exception in psychiatry, most randomized clinical trials exclude individuals with several disorders. Therefore, there is a lack of knowledge of the effect of treatment on comorbidity. By applying innovative causal inference designs to large observational data, we aim to study the effect of treatment on general psychopathology in the best conceivable way. This could open a new area of research into transdiagnostic treatments.

    Research problem and specific questions: About one quarter of all children have parents with mental health problems. These children are at increased risk for a wide range of adverse outcomes. Nevertheless, despite the importance of reducing this form of inequality, research on the intergenerational transmission of mental health problems is plagued by three important limitations. These include an overreliance on small samples and retrospective (biased) reports
    a failure to address psychiatric comorbidity
    and inadequate control of unmeasured confounding. The aim of this project is to answer three research questions: 1) What are the associations between psychiatric diagnoses in parents and adverse outcomes in their children? 2) Can these be attributed to broad comorbidity? 3) Does treatment of the parents鈥 psychiatric disorders reduce the risk of adverse outcomes in children?Data and method: We will include all individuals born in Sweden between 1970 and 2000 (N = 2 797 086). The exposures are 6 psychiatric diagnoses in their parents, and the outcomes are 34 adverse events in the offspring recorded until the end of 2019 (e.g., psychiatric disorders, psychotropic medications, criminality, school and employment problems, etc.). We will estimate associations between the exposures and outcomes
    adjust for comorbidity using multiple regression and a general factor model
    and apply causal inference techniques to control for unmeasured confounding.Plan for project realisation: We will hire a PhD student and a postdoc to complete the project. The PI, along with experts in epidemiology and psychiatry, will provide support.Relevance: Our project will contribute to the study of intergenerational transmission of mental health problems in three important ways. First, because psychiatric treatment resources are becoming increasingly scarce as more individuals seek help, parental psychiatric history can help guide treatment allocation by identifying those at higher risk and by screening out low risk persons. Second, we will highlight the importance of focusing on parental comorbidity, which will guide clinicians to additionally focus on the number of parental diagnoses (rather than only type) when predicting patient prognosis. Third, if a parental psychiatric diagnosis appears causally related to an outcome, then it would be beneficial to develop a policy for child and adolescent mental health providers to recommend that the parent also seek treatment.

    Research problem and specific questions: Intellectual disability (ID) affects 2% of children worldwide. The disability is present throughout the lifespan, leading to significant morbidity and premature deaths. Early-life risk factors and low socioeconomic status (SES) are associated with ID. But the absence of genetically-informative studies prevented researchers from distinguishing between potential causal environmental influences and genetic confounding. In the proposed project, we will study the effect of early-life environmental factors for ID and identify risk groups in need of clinical follow-up.The aim of this project is to answer the following research questions:What is the causal mechanism by which early-life risk factors are associated with risk of ID?What is the mechanism underlying the association between SES and ID? Which early-life risk factors mediate this associations?Which risk groups are mostly likely to benefit from targeted pediatric surveillance and early health interventions?Data and method: We will use large-scale longitudinal linkages of administrative and health registers along with the Swedish Twin and Multi-Generation Registers. We will examine association between exposures to 1) early-life risk factors and 2) low SES with the outcome of ID. The association will be investigated in the overall population (between-family analyses) and, to address potential causality by adjusting for familial confounding in siblings (i) full-siblings, half-siblings, cousins and (ii) twins (within-family analyses). We will apply causal inference methods for mediation and interactions. 3) We will develop a Clinical Risk Score for prediction of ID based on early-life risk factors, SES and familial risk score.Plan for project realization: The project will be carried out over three years in close collaboration with reference group involving representatives from self-advocacy group 鈥淕runden and Inre Ringen鈥 and relevant stakeholders such as Young People and Adults with Intellectual Disability (FUB), the National Board of Health and Welfare, the Swedish Agency for Participation and the Swedish Municipalities and Regions (SKR).Relevance: The project will increase our knowledge on modifiable risk factors for ID, crucial for informing prevention in the population. If we can identify children atrisk of disabilities, we will be able to plan follow-ups and provide the best opportunities for timely diagnosis and early interventions in children and their families.
