[The comparative clinico-epidemiological characteristics of schizophrenia patients living in urban and rural localities].
Schizophrenic patients living in the city (n = 260) and rural area (n = 307) were examined and compared clinically and epidemiologically. The rural community manifested more profound and marked psychopathological disorders, disadaptation at different stages of the process, with the disease standing being alike in both groups. In rural patients, more severe disease manifestations may be accounted for by the specific features of the organization of psychiatric aid and treatment. It is assumed that a greater progress of the process in rural patients may also be accounted for by the formation of the unfavourable genofund in the rural population.
