N2  - The paper quotes and discusses studies addressing the association between suicide and low birth weight. The results are partly contradictory, but still there seems to be a connection between suicide and low birth weight/birth length. This connection may be mediated through reduced mental health, low stress tolerance or cognitive deficits, all factors that are possibly related to the development of the CNS in utero. To which extent low socioeconomic status, low mental health in parents, low maternal age and nulliparity are factors in the causal pathway or confounders are not yet clarified.<p /> <p>Language: no</p>
