Abstract
The aim of this thesis was to study associations of perinatal conditions with
cognitive and psychiatric problems in later life. Most epidemiological studies on
the effects of perinatal circumstances on future (mental) health focus on specific
obstetric complications – like complications during delivery, low birth weight, or
maternal smoking during pregnancy – as specific risk factors for specific
disorders. However, pregnancy and delivery are complex processes, and isolated
obstetric complications rare and often accompanied or followed by a number of
others.
