Sex differences in the age at symptom onset and first hospitalization in typical schizophrenia, schizophreniform psychosis, and paranoid psychosis are examined. Male schizophrenics were significantly younger than females at both onset and admission, irrespective of schizophrenic type; the disparity did not occur for paranoid psychotics. Implications of these findings for the differential etiology of schizophrenia in the sexes, and the need for the early identification of and intervention in typical schizophrenia, are discussed.
研究了典型精神分裂症、精神分裂症样精神病和偏执性精神病患者症状出现年龄及首次住院年龄的性别差异。无论精神分裂症类型如何，男性精神分裂症患者在症状出现和入院时均显著比女性年轻；而偏执性精神病患者不存在这种差异。讨论了这些发现对两性精神分裂症病因差异的意义，以及对典型精神分裂症进行早期识别和干预的必要性。
