Abstract
Prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) was estimated in 227 patients with schizophrenia. A total of 43.6% of patients fulfilled International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria and 44.5% met modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel-III (NCEP ATP- III) criteria of MS. Increased waist circumference was the most common abnormality (64.8%) and high glucose level was the least common (15.9%). In regression analysis, age more than 35 years (OR-3.37), female gender (odds ratios (OR-1.81)), urban locality (OR-2.08), being employed (OR-2.12) and BMI more than 25 (OR-5.64) emerged as significant predictors of MS.Entities:
