A psychiatric study has been carried out on a group of 72-year-olds. They were selected at random among the 2,878 persons born in 1905 and resident in the municipality of Stockholm who failed to appear for a general health checkup 6 years earlier. Among the 86 persons who could be evaluated of the 104 originally selected, 53 were found to be without psychiatric symptoms. Organic brain diseases were found in four cases, psychoses in three and neurotic disorders, chiefly depressive states, in 15 cases, while 10 subjects had sleeping disturbances and one chronic alcoholism. The social group distribution among the examinees indicated that it was those most in need of medical or social help who failed to participate in the health checkup.
一项针对一群72岁老人的精神病学研究已经展开。他们是从1905年出生且居住在斯德哥尔摩市、6年前未参加常规健康检查的2878人中随机挑选出来的。在最初挑选的104人中，有86人能够接受评估，其中53人被发现没有精神症状。4例被发现患有器质性脑疾病，3例患有精神病，15例患有神经症性障碍，主要是抑郁状态，而10名受试者有睡眠障碍，1例患有慢性酒精中毒。受检者的社会群体分布表明，未能参加健康检查的正是那些最需要医疗或社会帮助的人。
