=== Risk factors and prognosis of CFS === Using data from the 1958 British birth cohort White was able to study premorbid risk factors for (self-reported) CFS/ME. The study could not confirm a connection with activity levels in child- or adulthood. Female gender, premorbid psychopathology, childhood gastrointestinal symptoms and parental reports of many colds increased the risk of self-reported CFS/ME in later life.<ref>{{Cite journal | last = White | first = Peter D. | last2 = Hotopf | first2 = Matthew | last3 = Stansfeld | first3 = Stephen A. | last4 = Goodwin | first4 = Laura | last5 = Clark | first5 = Charlotte | date = Oct 2011| title = Premorbid risk markers for chronic fatigue syndrome in the 1958 British birth cohort|url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/premorbid-risk-markers-for-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-in-the-1958-british-birth-cohort/13FD27D7ABC50DB975C43717CF465CCF|journal=The British Journal of Psychiatry|language=en|volume=199|issue=4|pages=323–329|doi=10.1192/bjp.bp.110.083956|issn=0007-1250}}</ref> There was also an association with parental physical abuse, although this factor was assessed retrospectively.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://forums.phoenixrising.me/threads/premorbid-risk-markers-for-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-in-the-1958-british-birth-cohort.13090/| title = Premorbid risk markers for chronic fatigue syndrome in the 1958 British birth cohort | website = Phoenix Rising ME / CFS Forums|language=en-US|access-date=2019-08-19}}</ref> Using data from the General Practice Research Database (GPRD), White and colleagues were able to report that viral infections were a risk marker for CFS, while gastroenteritis put persons at greater risk for irritable bowel syndrome.<ref>{{Cite journal | last = White | first = P.
