Because of the controversial opinions concerning the incidence of peptic ulcer in schizophrenic patients, a survey of 1275 autopsy protocols of a selected group of schizophrenics (white males, hospitalized for an average of 24 years, who died at the age of 40 or over in 1 of 29 Veterans Administration psychiatric hospitals) was carried out. The incidence of healed and active ulcers detected was 6%. This figure was within the range of those reported on large unselected general populations similarly surveyed
