Relationship between physical anomalies and age at onset of schizophrenia
MF Green, P Satz, HV Soper and F Kharabi
Among 50 schizophrenic patients grouped by age at onset, the group with
onset at or before age 18 had significantly more subjects with minor
physical anomalies. These findings suggest that early-onset schizophrenia
is associated with a more compromised CNS.
