    Gender differences in schizophrenia in three cultures (1992)

    Notes: Summary As part of a systematic research project on the influence of gender factors on age at onset, symptomatology, and course of schizophrenia, data on gender differences in age at onset and symptomatology of schizophrenia from the WHO Collaborative Study “On Assessment and Reduction of Psychiatric Disability” were compared between seven research centres of three different cultural regions. Results on age at onset of five European centres confirmed the well known fact of an earlier onset in men. The earlier onset in women seen in Khartoum and Ankara could be attributed to patient selection because male/female differences in age at onset and male/female ratios in the various samples covary. In the Islamic centres no relevant gender differences in real age at onset and in symptomatology could be detected as probable causes of earlier hospitalisation of women. Major gender differences in symptomatology were found in the Balkan centres of Sofia and Zagreb with a high prevalence of delusional symptoms in women and depression in men. In Western Europe centres, nuclear schizophrenic symptoms were equally prevalent in either sex, while nonspecific symptoms like irritability and tiredness (more frequent in women) and maladaptive illness behaviours like alcohol abuse and social withdrawal (more frequent in men) differed between the sexes. Explanatory hypotheses and the implications of these results are discussed.

    Beginning schizophrenia observed by significant others (1994)

    Notes: Abstract As a part of the ABC Schizophrenia Study, a large-scale investigation of the influences of age and gender on the onset and course of schizophrenia, this study compared retrospective reports about emerging symptomatology during the early course of schizophrenia given by patients and their significant others in a representative lirst admission sample. The Interview for the Retrospective Assessment of the Onset of Schizophrenia (IRAOS), a comprehensive interview assessing early signs and symptoms, revealed that, in most cases, patients as well as informants perceived negative, depressive, and unspecific symptoms as early signs of the disorder. Pairwise agreement about the presence of certain symptoms was good for a limited number of signs, e. g., substance abuse, suieidal behavior, parental and marital role deficits, and paranoid delusions. These items mainly concern abnormal behaviors that can be observed easily. In contrast, there was little agreement between reports about perceptual and formal thought disorder, i.e., subjective internal phenomena. The results supported a continuity model for the observability of symptoms in schizophrenia.

    The high incidence of psychiatrically treated disorders in the inner city of Mannheim (1992)

    Notes: Summary In earlier investigations in the city of Mannheim we examined the spatial distribution of the incidence of treated mental disorders in 1965 and 1974–80. In studying the ecology of psychiatric disorders over time, it is important to consider major demographic developments. In Mannheim between the mid-sixties and 1980 the most striking demographic change was the increase of foreign residents, whose proportion almost trebled during this period. In this study we test the hypothesis whether the excess morbidity in the inner city where housing conditions are relatively poor and the percentage of foreign residents is far above average can be explained by the high proportion of immigrants, mainly from Turkey, living there. Due to motivational and administrative factors, most immigrant workers being recruited on the basis of good physical and mental health, the age-adjusted incidence of treated psychiatric disorders between 1974 and 1980 among the German population exceeded that of foreign residents. The high concentration of psychiatric disorders in the inner city is due solely to the German and not to the foreign residents. The most plausible explanation for this is provided by the segregation hypothesis. Individuals with vulnerable personalities tend to move to socially disorganized districts of the city. Furthermore, the health status of those Germans who left areas of poor environmental conditions was probably better in comparison to those who remained in the inner city.

    Is age of onset in schizophrenia influenced by marital status? (1992)

    Notes: Summary Schizophrenia is a disease characterized by a distinctly higher age at onset and at first admission in females than in males. In a systematic study on gender differences in schizophrenia we have confirmed this finding using different sets of data, in particular through the examination of a large and representative sample of first-admitted patients. The question addressed in this paper is whether marital status influences this sex-specific age difference. Assuming that marriage or a stable relationship is a protective factor in schizophrenia, delaying the onset of the disease or first hospitalization, the hypothesis was formulated that the later age of onset in women is at least partly explained by their generally earlier age of marriage. Testing this hypothesis illustrates some of the methodological problems that often occur when a causal analysis of social data is attempted. The problems emerge especially when both the dependent variable (age of onset/first admission) and the independent variable (marital status) are essentially related to age. First results appearing to indicate an influence of marital status on age at first admission did not bear a critical interpretation.

    Transnational stability of gender differences in schizophrenia? (1992)

    Notes: Summary Gender-specific analyses of the multinational WHO-Determinants of Outcome-Study (including 1,292 cases from 10 countries) demonstrate the transnational stability of major findings on gender differences in schizophrenia: Male patients have an earlier mean age at onset in all countries. In female patients, the distribution of the age at onset shows a second peak after age 40 years. No gender differences on nuclear symptoms of schizophrenia can be detected, but on uncharacteristic symptoms, particularly some aspects of the illness behaviour, differences appear. This investigation supports the transcultural validity of gender differences found in the German ABC-Schizophrenia-Study and in the Danish-German Psychiatric Case Register studies.
