Lead researcher Dr. Richard Morris noted that people in their 30s are at increased risk of developing mental health problems, and this is the first time differences between birth groups have been shown.

The second study, conducted by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, and published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), confirmed the findings of the first study.
