"P de Becker (Brussels) produced results of a factor analysis
which determined 4 symptom groupings: general, cognitive,
musculoskeletal and mood changes/psychiatric factors. The first 3
group scores fitted with both Holmes and Fukuda defined CFS patients,
while the mood change/psychiatric factor score was not an important
factor in determination of CFS. The musculoskeletal factor determined
exercise ability."
