The risks of major osteoporotic fractures in patients with schizophrenia: A population-based 10-year follow-up study

Patients with schizophrenia are at a higher risk for major osteoporotic fractures than the general population and also have a higher mortality rate due to major osteoporotic fractures. These findings may be caused by psychiatric drug use rather than schizophrenia, which suggests that directions can be taken in future studies.
