ENGLISH SUMMARY
A study of risk factors for cardiovascular disease among schizophrenic
patients using the rehabilitation mental health services at Kleppur
Sveinsson O12, Thorleifsson K', Aspelund Th34, Kolbeinsson H'
Background: Studies have shown that schizophrenic patients die
on average 15-20 years earlier than the normal population, and that
increased prevalance of cardiovascular risk factors plays a crucial
role Schizophrenic patients are underdiagnosed and undertreated
when it comes to diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia. The aim of
this study was to investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome,
obesity, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia among schizophrenic
patients in lceland.
Methods: An observational study of 106 schizophrenic patients in
lceland during the period 2007-2009. The results were compared to age
adjusted population based data.
Results: 106 patients participated, 86 men and 20 women. In all 57%
were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome (p<0.0001) in comparison to
14.1% in the general population. In all 73% were smokers (21% in the
general population) p<0.0001 and 23.6% had hypertension of which
only 20% were treated with anti-hypertensive medication. The average
systolic blodpressure was 134.8 mmHg <0.001. In all 15.1% had a
fasting glucose over 7 mmol/l but only 38% were previously diagnosed
with diabetes. The average BMI was 29.7 kg/m2 p=0.0007, 45.3% were
obese (BMI >30 kg/m2). Only 32.1% had normal BMI, and 82.1% had
waist circumference over the normal limits.
Conclusion: The physical condition of lcelandic schizophrenic patients
is poor and their risk for cardiovascular diseases is high. It is necessary
to follow their weight, blood pressure, blood glucose and lipids more
closely It is imperative to educate and enable the schizophrenic patient
to live a healthier life
