Paranoid schizophrenics were found to be more similar to affective disordered patients than to other types of schizophrenics on age at first hospitalization and premorbid social competence. These findings support an earlier formulation of paranoid schizophrenia as a reflection of underlying affective disorder rather than as a subtype of schizophrenia. In addition, in all the diagnostic groups, women were found to be older than men at first hospitalization.
偏执型精神分裂症患者在首次住院年龄和病前社会能力方面，被发现与情感障碍患者比与其他类型的精神分裂症患者更为相似。这些发现支持了早期将偏执型精神分裂症表述为潜在情感障碍的反映而非精神分裂症的一个亚型的观点。此外，在所有诊断组中，女性首次住院时的年龄均大于男性。
