> uses different cognitive mechanisms than memory for scenes.

> TI Cognitive ability in early adulthood is associated with later suicide
> and suicide attempt: the role of risk factors over the life course
> SO PSYCHOLOGICAL MEDICINE
> AB Background. Cognitive ability/intelligence quotient (IQ) in youth has
> previously been associated with subsequent completed and attempted
> suicide, but little is known about the mechanisms underlying the
> associations. This study aims to assess the roles of various risk
> factors over the life course in explaining the observed relationships.
> Method. The present investigation is a cohort study based on data on IQ
> test performance and covariates, recorded on 49 321 Swedish men
> conscripted in 1969-1970, at ages 18-20 years. Information on suicides
> and hospital admissions for suicide attempt up to the age of 57 years,
> childhood and adult socio-economic position, and adult family formation,
> was obtained from linkage to national registers.
> Results. Lower IQ was associated with increased risks of both suicide
> and suicide attempt during the 36 years of follow-up. The associations
> followed a dose-response pattern. They were attenuated by approximately
> 45% in models controlling for social background, mental ill-health,
> aspects of personality and behavior, adult socio-economic position and
> family formation. Based on one-unit decreases in IQ test performance on
> a nine-point scale, the hazard ratios between ages 35 and 57 years were:
> for suicide 1.19 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.13-1.25], fully
> adjusted 1.10 (95% CI 1.04-1.18); and for suicide attempt 1.25 (95% CI
> 1.20-1.31), fully adjusted 1.14 (95% CI 1.09-1.20).
> Conclusions. Cognitive ability was found to be associated with
> subsequent completed and attempted suicide. The associations were
> attenuated by 45% after controlling for risk factors measured over the
