مرگ و میر در اسکیزوفرنی و اختلال اسکیزوافکتیو: گروه اولمستد، مینه سوتا: 1950-2005

Tsuang and colleagues showed in 1975 that mortality in schizophrenics and later, those with schizoaffective disorder was significantly increased compared to the US general population. Thirty years later, with a demographically similar population, we have found the same pattern of increased mortality. In light of continued improvements in the general population's lifespan, the survival gap in schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder appears to be increasing.
