Convergence of cognitive and adaptive decline in late-life schizophrenia.

Cognitive impairment has proven to be a major predictor of overall functional deficit in schizophrenia. Despite the significant impairments seen on the part of many patients with schizophrenia that implicate decline at some point in time, there have been no longitudinal studies of adaptive decline in patients with schizophrenia. In this study, 57 geriatric patients with chronic schizophrenia were examined with measures of clinical symptoms, cognitive impairments, and adaptive functioning while living in a chronic psychiatric hospital and followed up an average of two and a half years after their referral to nursing home care. Cognitive functioning and adaptive functioning both declined over the follow-up period, whereas there was no change in schizophrenic symptoms. Changes in cognitive functioning accounted for 25% of the variance in adaptive decline, whereas the baseline severity of cognitive impairment and schizophrenia symptoms were uncorrelated with adaptive decline. These data indicate that cognitive decline may predict deterioration in overall functional status and imply that treatment of cognitive impairment might have a beneficial effect on global functional status.

Social class in childhood and general health in adulthood: questionnaire study of contribution of psychological attributes.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the contribution of psychological attributes (personality characteristics and coping styles) to the association between social class in childhood and adult health among men and women. DESIGN: Partly retrospective, partly cross sectional study conducted in the framework of the Dutch GLOBE study. SUBJECTS: Sample of general population from south east Netherlands consisting of 2174 men and women aged 25-74 years. Baseline self reported data from 1991 provided information on childhood and adult social class, psychological attributes, and general health. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Self rated poor health. RESULTS: Independent of adult social class, low childhood social class was related to self rated poor health (odds ratio 1.67 (95% confidence interval 1.02 to 2.75) for subjects whose fathers were unskilled manual workers versus subjects whose fathers were higher grade professionals). Subjects whose fathers were manual workers generally had more unfavourable personality profiles and more negative coping styles. External locus of control, neuroticism, and the absence of active problem focused coping explained about half of the association between childhood social class and self rated poor health. The findings were independent of adult social class and height. CONCLUSIONS: A higher prevalence of negative personality profiles and adverse coping styles in subjects who grew up in lower social classes explains part of the association between social class in childhood and adult health. This finding underlines the importance of psychological mechanisms in the examination of the negative effects of adverse socioeconomic conditions in childhood.
