title: [Investigations of constitution in patients with primary amotio retinae (author's transl)].
abstract: In 53 mostly old patients with Amotio retinae (37 femeles and 16 males) the type of constitution, meaning the placement in the variation grade from leptomorph to pyknomorph, was determined by biometrical methods (discrimination analysis). The calculated mean values of the group of patients were compared to the results of a leptomorph and a pyknomorph group as well as those of a control group. On a linear scale from lepto- to pyknomorph the patients could be placed between the controls and the pyknomorphs. The tendency toward pyknomorphy was statistically significant in the male patients only.
