سندرم متابولیک و خطر قلب و عروق در میان بیماران مبتلا به اسکیزوفرنی که از مراقبت های بلند مدت درمانی برخوردارند

Despite the low smoking rate in this group of inpatients, their cardiovascular risk appeared to be relatively high possibly due to old age and age-related conditions such as hypertension and low HDL. While literature has found the use of atypical antipsychotic medications to increase the risk of MetS, we did not find any significant association. Additionally, the duration of hospitalization did not affect the rate of MetS in our sample.
