“…The sample prevalence of significant borderline features was 2.2 % in The Netherlands, 4.0 % in Belgium and 5.3 % in Australia, while a BPD diagnosis was suggested for 0.03 % in The Netherlands, 0.1 % in Belgium and 0.7 % in Australia. The somewhat higher prevalence in Australia could be due to the younger age range of the Australian sample as the prevalence rates of BPD are known to be highest among young adults (Paris et al 1987 ;Stone, 1990 ;Bernstein et al 1996 ;APA, 2000 ;Johnson et al 2000 ;Samuels et al 2002 ;Coid et al 2006).…”

Background. Most of our knowledge about borderline personality disorder features has been obtained through the study of clinical samples. Although these studies are important in their own right, they are limited in their ability to address certain important epidemiological and aetiological questions such as the degree to which there is a genetic influence on the manifestation of borderline personality disorder features. Though family history studies of borderline personality disorder indicate genetic influences, there have been very few twin studies and the degree of genetic influence on borderline personality disorder remains unclear.Method. Data were drawn from twin samples from The Netherlands (n=3918), Belgium (n=904) and Australia (n=674). In total, data were available on 5496 twins between the ages of 18 and 86 years from 3644 families who participated in the study by completion of a mailed self-report questionnaire on borderline personality disorder features.Results. In all countries, females scored higher than males and there was a general tendency for younger adults to endorse more borderline personality disorder features than older adults. Model-fitting results showed that additive genetic influences explain 42 % of the variation in borderline personality disorder features in both men and women and that this heritability estimate is similar across The Netherlands, Belgium and Australia. Unique environmental influences explain the remaining 58 % of the variance.Conclusions. Genetic factors play a role in individual differences in borderline personality disorder features in Western society.

“…This traditional view of personality disorder as a stable form of psychopathology has been held despite follow-up studies that reveal that only about 50% of patients will retain a PD diagnosis over time (Perry, 1993;McDavid & Pilkonis, 1996 ;Grilo et al 1998). Although many of these studies had design limitations, even recent methodologically rigorous follow-along studies have found that personality psychopathology decreases over time (Lenzenweger, 1999 ;Johnson et al 2000) and that a majority of patients do not stay consistently above diagnostic thresholds over periods as short as 1 or 2 years Grilo et al in press). The observed instability of PD diagnoses raises the obvious question of what is stable about a personality disorder, and might account for the commonly held belief that PDs persist ?…”

Background. A defining feature of personality disorder (PD) is an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that is stable over time. Follow-up and follow-along studies have shown considerable diagnostic instability of PDs, however, even over short intervals. What, then, about personality disorder is stable ? The purpose of this study was to determine the stability of impairment in psychosocial functioning in patients with four different PDs, in contrast to patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and no PD, prospectively over a 2-year period.

Age‐related change in personality disorder trait levels between early adolescence and adulthood: a community‐based longitudinal investigation

Abstract: PD traits tend to decline steadily in prevalence during adolescence and early adulthood. However, adolescents with PDs often have elevated PD traits as young adults, and the stability of PD traits appears to be similar during adolescence and early adulthood.
