作者对瑞典西海岸某地区的人群进行了老年性和动脉硬化性精神病的频率和其他人口学特征的研究，进行了横向和阶段性研究，只计算了在时间和地点上已达到无休止迷失方向阶段的病例。调查的地区是今天瑞典农村的典型，在20世纪失去了许多居民，特别是年轻年龄段的居民。这项研究的基本人口包括4,198名60岁及以上的居民(2,071名男性和2,127名女性)。计算两种类型精神病的患病率和发病率。对发现的病例进行了死亡率、病程、因身体疾病在医院住院的时间和居住地的研究。最后对这两种疾病进行了遗传分析。
The author studied the population of an area on the west coast of Sweden for the frequency and other demographic features of senile and arteriosclerotic psychosis, making both a transverse and period study, and reckoning only with cases having reached the stage of unremitting disorientation as to time and place. The area investigated is typical of rural Sweden today, having lost many of its inhabitants, particularly in the young age groups, during the 20th century. The underlying population for the study consisted of its 4,198 inhabitants aged 60 and over (2,071 men and 2,127 women). The prevalence and incidence of the two forms of psychosis were calculated. The cases found were studied for mortality, duration of disease, length of stays in hospitals for physical disease, and place of residence. Finally a genetic analysis was made of the two diseases.
