title: [Late schizophrenia. A study of cases].
abstract: We report the results of a study concerning patients older than 50, hospitalized for the first time for schizophrenic disorders. After a brief review of the literature, we report data about sex ratio, risk factors, social and familial surrounding, clinical picture, prognosis and we compare our results in respect to previous studies. Our research could rise some critics about DSM-III diagnostic criteria.
