摘要

The causal link between potentially traumatic events and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) remains unclear due to reliance on retrospective self-reports and limited control for familial factors. Here, in this Swedish population-based cohort study, we identified 3,340,945 individuals born between 1975 and 2008 and prospectively examined the associations of objectively recorded assault/victimization and transport accidents with subsequent OCD diagnoses. Individuals exposed to assault/victimization, but not transport accidents, had an increased OCD risk (hazard ratio (HR) 1.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.63–1.83), especially within the first year (HR 2.31, 95% CI 1.98–2.70), decreasing thereafter (HR 1.67, 95% CI 1.57–1.77). The association persisted in discordant full sibling comparisons (HR 1.37, 95% CI 1.23–1.54). Quantitative genetic modeling indicated that the phenotypic correlation (r = 0.12) was primarily due to additive genetic (69%) and unique environmental factors (31%). These findings highlight a complex relationship between assault/victimization and OCD, involving both genetic vulnerability and individual environmental exposure.
