Abstract
Two groups of male patients were identified by screening the population of Hastings State Hospital; the 20 with the highest and the 20 with the lowest blood cholesterols were selected for study. Each group was evaluated twice with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, Nurses Evaluation Sheet, and Psychotic Reaction Profile. Differences significant at the .01 and .05 levels were noted. Lowcholesterol subjects were more regressed and withdrawn, with less evidence of initiative and positive mental health.Keywords
