We found diurnal weight gain to be abnormal among 65 long-term patients with schizophrenic disorders. Patients were weighed at 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. serially and diurnal weight gain was normalized (NDWG) as a percentage by subtracting the 7 a.m. weight from the 4 p.m. weight, multiplying the difference by 100, and then dividing the result by the 7 a.m. weight. NDWG was 2.2 +/- 1.5% for 47 male patients compared (P = 0.001) with 0.6 +/- 0.4% for 11 male controls. NDWG was 1.7 +/- 0.7% for 18 female patients compared (P less than 0.0001) with 0.5 +/- 0.3% for 14 female controls. We hypothesize that NDWG may be an index of both the severity and duration of the schizophrenic disorder.
