In four provinces of Canada schizophrenic patients who had received psychiatric treatment not less than 18 months and not more than 10 years earlier, were interviewed. Findings suggest that the female schizophrenic patient, having a later age of onset than the male patient, and being more likely to form a stable spousal union, appears to enjoy a protected status which confers with the benefits of higher income levels, better housing and lessened likelihood of being placed in residential care. A further demonstration of the advantaged circumstances of the female patients may well be their superior showing on functional outcome indicators, where they out-performed males on all indices except physical activity at significant levels of differentiation.
在加拿大的四个省份，对那些在18个月至10年前接受过不少于18个月精神治疗的精神分裂症患者进行了访谈。研究结果表明，女性精神分裂症患者发病年龄比男性患者晚，并且更有可能结成稳定的婚姻关系，似乎享有一种受保护的地位，这种地位带来了收入水平更高、住房条件更好以及被安置在寄宿护理机构的可能性降低等好处。女性患者优越境遇的进一步体现可能在于她们在功能结局指标上的出色表现，在所有指标上，除了身体活动方面，她们在显著的差异水平上均优于男性。
