title: [Correlation of the clinical manifestations of schizophrenia with the constitutionally morphologic type of the patient].
abstract: Using clinical and anthropometrical methods involving the determination of discrete somatotypic groups in accordance with the Reese-Aisenk Habitus index, the authors examined 1064 schizophrenic patients. Each constitutional-morphological type was characterized by specific premorbid personality features, duration and patterns of the initial period, as well as by manifest syndromes, variants of the time-course of the process and deficiency types. The process was especially acute in people with pyknic build while the severity of negative disturbances increased from the pyknic pole toward the asthenic one. The normosthenic somatotype was most frequently related to monomorphic productive disorders. The constitutional morphophenotype is considered as an important parameter with regard to the early prognosis of the time-course of schizophrenia.
