Abstract
The Lundby study is a classic epidemiological investigation. The first field investigation took place in the parishes of Dalby and Bonderup in 1947. The Lundby population, consisting of 3563 probands, was investigated for the fourth time in 1997 -2000 by Per Nettelbladt and his research team. Previous investigations took place in 1947, 1957, and 1972. Several sources of information have been used, e.g. interviews, registers, case-notes and key-informants. During the past fifty years the incidence of dementia had decreased. The incidence of neurosis increased up to 1972, but from 1972 to 1997 a decrease was observed. An increase in point prevalence of neurosis could also be seen from 1947 to1972, but not from 1972 to1997. The incidence of... (More)

An increase in point prevalence of neurosis could also be seen from 1947 to1972, but not from 1972 to1997. The incidence of depression with medium and severe degree of impairment had decreased when the period 1972-1997 was compared with the period 1947-1972. A fall of the suicide rate among depressed individuals was observed after the introduction in Sweden of tricyclic antidepressant drugs 1962. (Less)
