Patients with schizophrenia are more likely to have metabolic syndrome compared to general population. The criterion for metabolic syndrome in Asian people including: elevated waist circumference (male ≥ 90cm, female ≥ 80cm), elevated triglycerides ≥ 150mg/dL, reduced HDL cholesterol: male < 40mg/dL, female < 50mg/dL, elevated blood pressure: ≥ 130/85 mmHg, elevated fasting glucose: ≥ 100mg/dL. Several factors have been found to be associated with metabolic syndrome in schizophrenia, e.g. age, antipsychotic drugs, smoking, family history of metabolic disorder, stress, and quality of life.
However, little is known about the prevalence of and factors associated in Asian. This study aimed to:
