We found diurnal weight gain to be abnormal among 41 institutionalized patients with manic-depressive spectrum disorders. They were weighed at 7 AM and 4 PM weekly for three weeks. We normalized the diurnal weight gain (NDWG) as a percentage by subtracting the 7 AM weight from the 4 PM weight, multiplying the difference by 100, and then dividing the result by the 7 AM weight. NDWG was 2.216 +/- 1.513 percent for the study population, .631 +/- .405 percent for 16 young, newly admitted controls, and .511 +/- .351 percent for 29 normals. Abnormal NDWG may be an additional feature of manic-depressive spectrum disorders.
我们发现,在41名患有躁郁症谱系障碍的住院患者中,日间体重增加异常。我们每周上午7点和下午4点对他们进行为期三周的称重。我们通过以下方式将日间体重增加(NDWG)标准化为百分比:用下午4点的体重减去上午7点的体重,将差值乘以100,然后将结果除以上午7点的体重。研究人群的NDWG为2.216±1.513%,16名新入院的年轻对照者为0.631±0.405%,29名正常人则为0.511±0.351%。异常的NDWG可能是躁郁症谱系障碍的一个附加特征。
