Resumen

Los nacimientos en invierno se han asociado con un riesgo más elevado de enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) y otros trastornos psiquiátricos. En la presente investigación, se examinó esta asociación putativa en una muestra de pacientes gerontopsiquiátricos. Un análisis de las tasas de nacimiento trimestrales de 83 pacientes con EA, 78 pacientes depresivos mayores con comienzo temprano del trastorno depresivo y 74 pacientes con comienzo tardío, 48 pacientes con EA y depresión a la vez (pacientes comórbidos) y 107 sujetos de control sanos no reveló una distribución estacional particular para ninguno de los grupos diagnósticos. En los pacientes con EA y comórbidos, controlar el genotipo de la ApoE no cambió este hallazgo. El análisis de regresión matemática reveló los hallazgos esperados de que la mayor edad y la presencia del alelo ApoE4 se asociaban con un riesgo más elevado de demencia. La menor edad y el género femenino se identificaron como factores de riesgo para trastorno depresivo. Haber nacido en invierno (en los tres primeros meses del aflo) no se asociaba con ninguno de los subgrupos diagnóstics. Concluimos que, en nuestra muestra, no se encontró que una distribución estacional de los nacimientos aumentara el riesgo para EA o depresión geriátrica.
