Background. We aimed to elucidate early antecedents of suicide including possible mediation by early child development.Method. Using the 1958 birth cohort, based on British births in March 1958, individuals were followed up to adulthood. We used data collected at birth and at age 7 years from various informants. Suicides occurring up to 31 May 2009 were identified from linked national death certificates. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to investigate risk factors.Results. Altogether 12399 participants (n=44 suicides) had complete data. The strongest prenatal risk factors for suicide were: birth order, with risk increasing in later-born children [p(trend)=0.063, adjusted hazard ratio (HR)], e. g. for fourth-or later-born children [HR=2.27, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.90-5.75]; young maternal age (HR=1.18, 95% CI 0.34-4.13 for 419 years and HR=0.41, 95% CI 0.19-0.91 for >29 years, p(trend)=0.034); and low (
