BRiT 1445 homosexuals were significantly lower than those of a control group.A group of heterosexual neurotics, however, showed a similar deviation from the control group.The androgyny score, however, did not differentiate the homosexuals from the controls any better than did the biacromial diameter, which is less in these patients.It was concluded that homosexuals have a body-build similar to that found in patients with other psychiatric disorders and that it could not be specifically related to their sexual abnormality.I thank Dr. P. D. Scott for permission to examine his patients, Dr. R. D. J-ioare and Miss A Parker for taking the soft-tissue x-ray films, and Dr. H. S. Friend for arranging the examination of controls at Unilever House.
