Abstract

The bone age (BA), height and weight of 20 adolescents with schizophrenia and 21 matched adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) were measured. The BA of the schizophrenic patients was significantly higher than their chronological age (CA) (p < 0.05), while the OCD subjects' BA was non-significantly lower than their CA. In addition, the difference between CA and BA (Δages) in the schizophrenic adolescents was significantly different from the Δages of the OCD adolescents (p < 0.05). Gender did not significantly affect BA or Δages. A positive correlation (r = 0.5, p < 0.01) was obtained between CA and Δages in the schizophrenic patients but not in the OCD patients. Both groups were within the normal range of weight and height percentiles.
