Prevalence of psychological impairment in city and country samples.
A study was conducted of the psychological health of 125 married French women aged between 35 and 39 years, divided into five professional groups of 25 subjects. Two of these groups were taken from a rural area, three from Paris. The criteria of health have been psychiatric symptomatology, psychological impairment, and the frequency of the periods of impairment. A significant difference was found between the farmers and all the other groups. Differential data are also given regarding the medical assistance received by the groups.
