From skid row, 227 chronic "drunks", inmates of the Toronto Jail, were studied to determine the physical features and illnesses of this group. Complete physical examinations, liver function tests, routine hematology, urinalysis, chest radiographs were carried out and previous hospital records were obtained for each man. The data were analyzed by IBM computer and reported in terms of body systems. Items that occurred in sufficient frequency were separated out and listed to compile a "skid row" syndrome. The men averaged 45 years of age, had been drinking heavily for 20 years and had four drunken convictions a year. Tuberculosis was found in 8.8%. Epilepsy was confirmed in 8%. Cirrhosis of the liver was definite in 3% of the group; 75% were under the Canadian average weight, and 25% had significant body deformities. It was estimated that, if necessary therapy was carried out, 90% of the men would be able to perform useful labour.
对来自多伦多监狱的227名长期酗酒的流浪汉进行了研究，以确定该群体的身体特征和疾病情况。对每个人都进行了全面的身体检查、肝功能测试、常规血液学检查、尿液分析、胸部X光检查，并获取了他们以前的医院记录。数据由IBM计算机进行分析，并按身体系统进行报告。将出现频率足够高的项目分离出来并列出，以编制一种“流浪汉”综合征。这些男性的平均年龄为45岁，酗酒已达20年，每年有四次醉酒定罪记录。发现8.8%的人患有肺结核。确诊8%的人患有癫痫。该群体中3%的人有明确的肝硬化；75%的人体重低于加拿大平均水平，25%的人有明显的身体畸形。据估计，如果进行必要的治疗，90%的男性将能够从事有益的劳动。
