  • An increased prevalence of diabetes is observed in schizophrenia patients.
  • This association precedes antipsychotic medication use.
  • Pathophysiological mechanisms remain incompletely understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the significant health risks associated with diabetes in schizophrenia.
  • To emphasize the need for proactive diabetes screening in schizophrenia patients.

Main Methods:

  • Observational epidemiology and clinical practice data analysis.
  • Review of diagnostic criteria for diabetes (fasting blood sugar >7.0 mmol/L, glucose tolerance test >11.1 mmol/L).

Main Results:

  • Diabetic schizophrenia patients experience more comorbidities than non-diabetic patients.
  • These comorbidities contribute to reduced quality of life and premature mortality.
  • Schizophrenia patients are a high-risk group for diabetes.

    • Conclusions:

    • The link between schizophrenia and diabetes mellitus warrants significant clinical attention.
    • Screening, prevention, and treatment for diabetes in schizophrenia should follow updated guidelines.
    • Practitioners must prioritize managing this dual diagnosis to mitigate adverse outcomes.
