Li et al. pointed out that the uncontrolled age differences between exposed and control groups in our study may explain most of effects attributed to the famine. Due to the inherent limitations of the study, the age of the participants differs between groups in our study. The fetal famine-exposed group and early-childhood famine-exposed group were 3 or

Using data from large scale, nationally representative sample surveys, we tested the hypothesis that prenatal exposure to famine increases schizophrenia risk at adulthood by studying the Great Leap Forward Famine in China (1959-1961). Our results show that, in the urban population, being conceived and born during the famine increased the risk of ...
