Psychiatric-Medical ComorbidityHyperlipidemia in patients with schizophrenia: a national population-based study
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectiveThe objective was to examine hyperlipidemia among Taiwanese patients with schizophrenia.MethodsWe obtained a random sample of 766,427 subjects aged ≥18 years in 2005. Subjects with at least one primary diagnosis of schizophrenia and with a primary or secondary diagnosis of hyperlipidemia or medication for hyperlipidemia were identified. We compared the prevalence and incidence of hyperlipidemia in schizophrenic patients with the general population.ResultsThe prevalence of hyperlipidemia in patients with schizophrenia was higher than that in the general population (8.15% vs. 8.10%; odds ratio 1.17; 95% confidence interval, 1.04-1.31) in 2005. Compared with the general population, schizophrenic patients had a higher prevalence of hyperlipidemia in individuals aged <50 years, among those with higher insurance amount, and among persons living in northern and central regions and in urban areas. The average annual incidence of hyperlipidemia in schizophrenic patients with second-generation antipsychotic use from 2006 to 2008 was higher than that in the general population (1.57% vs. 1.29%; odds ratio 1.31; 95% confidence interval, 1.11-1.55).ConclusionsPatients with schizophrenia had a much higher prevalence of hyperlipidemia in young adulthood than that in the general population. Schizophrenic patients with second-generation antipsychotic exposure had a higher incidence of hyperlipidemia than individuals in the general population.
