We investigated the clinical features of schizophrenic syndromes first manifested after the age of 50. By comparison with the schizophrenic syndromes first manifested before the 50th year of life we found: late schizophrenia is characterized by rich psychotic productive syndromes (delusions and hallucinations); disturbances of thought are rare; depression, euphoria and anxiety show no difference between the two groups; females are much more represented than males; social isolation is not more common in late schizophrenia than in non-late schizophrenia.
我们研究了50岁以后首次出现的精神分裂症综合征的临床特征。通过与50岁之前首次出现的精神分裂症综合征相比较，我们发现：晚发性精神分裂症的特征是存在丰富的精神病性阳性综合征（妄想和幻觉）；思维障碍少见；抑郁、欣快和焦虑在两组之间无差异；女性患者比男性患者多得多；晚发性精神分裂症患者的社会隔离情况并不比非晚发性精神分裂症患者更常见。
