A study of more than a million Danes found that frequent moves in childhood had a bigger effect than poverty on adult mental health risk.<\/p>\n

In recent decades, mental health providers began screening for \u201cadverse childhood experiences\u201d \u2014 generally defined as abuse, neglect, violence, family dissolution and poverty \u2014 as risk factors for later disorders.<\/p>\n

But what if other things are just as damaging?<\/p>\n

Researchers who conducted a large study<\/a> of adults in Denmark, published on Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, found something they had not expected: Adults who moved frequently in childhood have significantly more risk of suffering from depression than their counterparts who stayed put in a community.<\/p>\n

In fact, the risk of moving frequently in childhood was significantly greater than the risk of living in a poor neighborhood, said Clive Sabel, a professor at the University of Plymouth and the paper\u2019s lead author.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if you came from the most income-deprived communities, not moving \u2014 being a \u2018stayer\u2019 \u2014 was protective for your health,\u201d said Dr. Sabel, a geographer who studies the effect of environment on disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll flip it around by saying, even if you come from a rich neighborhood, but you moved more than once, that your chances of depression were higher than if you hadn\u2019t moved and come from the poorest quantile neighborhoods,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The study, a collaboration by Aarhus University, the University of Manchester and the University of Plymouth, included all Danes born between 1982 and 2003, more than a million people. Of those, 35,098, or around 2.3 percent, received diagnoses of depression from a psychiatric hospital.<\/p>\n
