We have used a newly presented self-consistent version of the BCS+RQRPA method for a nucleus-by-nucleus study of the double beta decay in the medium-heavy region. The results have been compared to the previously used approaches, namely the QRPA and the RQRPA approximations. We have shown that inclusion of the quasiparticle correlations at the BCS level reduces ground state correlations in the particle-particle...
