MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study premorbid adjustment level was correlated with QOL (Quality of Life Scale (QLS) by Henrichs) in a group of 120 subjects that fulfilled ICD-10 criteria for schizophrenia. CONCLUSION: This study supported that poor premorbid adjustment can be manifested by poorer QOL among schizphrenics, especially, the lower adjustment in adolecscence, the poorer QOL.
