Using Danish data on >3M people, we estimate absolute and relative risks, heritability & non-familial cases

💡Why it matters: • Family history alone can’t identify most cases • We need both population-level and personalized strategies

Highly heritable: 45% (depression) to 77% (cannabis use disorder)

People with affected 1st/2nd-degree relatives have higher risk • Yet most cases are non-familial:  ▫ 89% schizophrenia  ▫ 60% depression  ▫ 96% schizoaffective

🔗“Absolute and relative risks of mental disorders in families: a Danish register-based study” 👉 thelancet.com/journals/lanps… 📌Key findings: • Mental disorders are highly heritable – but most cases have no family history

@probnstat 75-50/30 = 73.33

A teacher gives a test to 30 students. The average score on the test was 75 out of 100. However, one student accidentally received a score of 100 instead of their actual score of 50. What is the new average score after correcting this mistake?

@madseriksen1208 Man bliver ikke god til fodbold ved FIFA på Nintendo, ligesom man ikke bliver god til matematik med en pc-app

"Før 2005 skulle man have 40 procent rigtige for at bestå den skriftlige studentereksamen i matematik B. I 2023 skulle man kun have 25 procent rigtige for at bestå – og alligevel dumpede omkring 30 procent." Blot en af flere grunde til et adgangskrav: altinget.dk/uddannelse/art…

@mogens_fosgerau Jeg tror, jeg har set et paper om, at lukning af trafik på Manhattan førte til langsommere trafik og øget luftforurening i forstæderne, fx Bronx og Queens, hvilket dermed medførte en skæv social slagside.

@sorenpind @mvinaes @JonasDeiborg Man kan simpelthen ikke basere hverken artikel eller studie på 19 kvinder, man selv opsøger på min-mave og spørger om de kan huske informationen, de fik om hælprøver. Det er ikke repræsentativt. Derfor kan du heller ikke skrive den rubrik, som anvendes. Men Ekspert: 19 kvinder …

Latterlig tynd historie. Ingen reel kritik. Bare uklare beskyldninger. DR og Astrid Fischer leger med ilden. dr.dk/nyheder/indlan…

@probnstat Too bad the maximum likelihood estimator divides by n instead of n−1 in the most simple of all cases: the normal distribution

Reason for using 'n-1' in the denominator instead of 'n' for sample variance 👇

@m_nordentoft Super impressive and totally deserved! Besides being a rockstar researcher, you have always had your heart in the right place (as we say in Danish😀)

When I thanked for this prize I said: 1)life is short, spend your time on something important 2) be generous with your time, ideas and data 3) be couragous, dare to contact politicians 4) mental illnesses are public health problems

@howie_hua 14/40 = 7/20 = 35/100 = 35%

For today's Mental Math Monday, how would you mentally convert 14/40 to a percent?
