With the aid of a specially elaborated chart certain indices of fertility and sexual behaviour were determined in 1113 females with schizophrenia and in 275 patients with chronic alcoholism of fertile age. A correlation of these indices with similar indices in normal females demonstrated that the level of reproductivity in schizophrenic females is lower than in normals and in chronic alcoholic females. The feasibility of applying measures of hygiene in marital and sexual relations of patients with schizophrenia and chronic alcoholism is discussed.
