Our aim is to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) among schizophrenia patients. METHOD: National cross-sectional study in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia under treatment with second generation antipsychotics and admitted to short-stay hospitalisation units. RESULTS: A sample of 733 consecutively admitted patients was enrolled; the most prevalent CVRFs were smoking 71% (95% CI: 67-74%) and hypercholesterolemia 66% (61-70%) followed by hypertriglyceridemia 26% (26-32%), hypertension 18% (15-21%) and diabetes 5% (4-7%). Metabolic syndrome showed 19% (95% CI: 16-23%) prevalence or, according to updated definitions (Clin Cornerstone 7 [2005] 36-45), 24% (95% CI: 20-28%). The rate of patients within the high-risk range of a 10-year fatal cardiovascular event was 6.5%. CVRFs under routine management were diabetes (60%), hypertension (28%) and, to a lesser extent, dyslipemia (14%). Treatment for CVRFs was associated to gender, men for hypertension OR=25.34, p<0.03 and women for diabetes OR=0.02, p<0.03. CONCLUSION: We found that CVRFs in schizophrenia were prevalent and under-diagnosed, and thus with insufficient therapeutic management. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=22677 ------>authors2=Lu ML ------>authors3=Tsai CJ ------>authors4=Chen PY ------>authors5=Chiu CC ------>authors6=Jian DL, Lin KM, Chen CH ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Huang MC ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c= ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=Prevalence and awareness of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with schizophrenia: A cross-sectional study in a low cardiovascular disease risk geographical area. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no=4 ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2009 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=10 |
