Abbreviations: HC, healthy control; SZ, schizophrenia; SES, socioeconomic status; Y, yes; N, no; BPRS, Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale; SANS, Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms; SAPS, Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms; RBANS, Repeated Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status.
Mean ± SD unless otherwise indicated.
SZ values for SES, education, and smoking (packs per day) calculated with n = 20 due to data missing for one patient.
SES ranks reported from Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies scale (1–18); high rank (lower numerical value) corresponds to high socioeconomic status.
Years of education reported from Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies scale.
Duration of illness (months) calculated with n = 19 due to missing data for 2 patients.
BPRS reported on 1–7 scale; positive (conceptual disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, and unusual thought content); negative (emotional withdrawal, motor retardation, and blunted affect).
SANS includes five subscales: affective flattening or blunting, alogia, avolition-apathy, anhedonia-asociality, and attention.
SANS average total composite score calculated with data from 16 SZ due to missing data from one SZ.
SAPS includes four subscales: hallucinations, delusions, bizarre behavior, and positive formal thought disorder.
RBANS data missing from 3 HC (n = 21) and 3 SZ (n = 17).
