was obtained by the following formular.
Z=50+10(Xi-m)/σ
m : mean of "yes" response by each section for all subjects.
σ : standard deviation of the mean.
Xi : number of "yes" responses for each section by an individual patient.
The results of obtained are as follows:
1. Female patients, in the sex category, show a higher score for mental inadequacy
(section M).
2. In the age group category, all age groups show a higher score for physical
inadequacy digestive tract(section D), nervous system(section G), frequency of
illness(section J) also mental inadequacy(section M).
