People whose genes put them at high risk of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and anorexia nervosa are also more likely to live in or move to urban areas, according to international research. The study also found that people with a genetic risk for autism spectrum disorder were also more likely to live or move to high-density urban areas. The authors say this suggests genes may influence our choice of living environment and that liability to these disorders predisposes people to move into more urban environments.
