infection, and schizophrenia, said the study is"an interesting addition to the studies of cat ownership in childhood as a risk factor for psychosis."
"The Canadian study is interesting in that it is the first study that separates exposure to permanently indoor cats from cats that are allowed to go outdoors, and the results were positive only for outdoor cats," Torrey said. Also commenting on findings, James Kirkbride, PhD, professor of psychiatric and social epidemiology, University College London, UK, noted the same limitations.that showed no link between cat ownership and serious mental illness that included nearly 5000 people born in 1991 or 1992 and followed until age 18. In this study, there was no link between psychosis and cat ownership during pregnancy or at ages 4 or 10 years.
"Evidence of any association is limited to certain subgroups without a strong theoretical basis for why this may be the case," he added."The retrospective and cross-sectional nature of the survey also raise the possibility that the results are impacted by differential recall bias, as well as the broader issues of chance and unobserved confounding."
