Physical illness in patients with severe mental disorders. I. Prevalence, impact of medications and disparities in health care
Open accessAbstract
The lifespan of people with severe mental illness (SMI) is shorter compared to the general population. This excess mortality is mainly due to physical illness. We report prevalence rates of different physical illnesses as well as important individual lifestyle choices, side effects of psychotropic treatment and disparities in health care access, utilization and provision that contribute to these poor physical health outcomes. We searched MEDLINE (1966 - August 2010) combining the MeSH terms of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder with the different MeSH terms of general physical disease categories to select pertinent reviews and additional relevant studies through cross-referencing to identify prevalence figures and factors contributing to the excess morbidity and mortality rates. Nutritional and metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, viral diseases, respiratory tract diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, sexual dysfunction, pregnancy complications, stomatognathic diseases, and possibly obesity-related cancers are, compared to the general population, more prevalent among people with SMI. It seems that lifestyle as well as treatment specific factors account for much of the increased risk for most of these physical diseases. Moreover, there is sufficient evidence that people with SMI are less likely to receive standard levels of care for most of these diseases. Lifestyle factors, relatively easy to measure, are barely considered for screening; baseline testing of numerous important physical parameters is insufficiently performed. Besides modifiable lifestyle factors and side effects of psychotropic medications, access to and quality of health care remains to be improved for individuals with SMI.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
People with severe mental illness (SMI) have substantially elevated physical morbidity and mortality, with excess mortality two to three times that of the general population and a 13–30 year shortened life expectancy. This selective review reports higher prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, viral infections, respiratory disease, osteoporosis, sexual dysfunction, pregnancy complications, and oral disease in SMI, alongside medication effects and health care disparities.
Key findings
- Excess mortality in SMI is two or three times as high as in the general population, translating to a 13–30 year shortened life expectancy; about 60% of this excess mortality is due to physical illness.
- Obesity is more common in SMI: people with schizophrenia have a 2.8–3.5 increased likelihood of being obese, with reported obesity rates of 42–60%; those with major depression or bipolar disorder have a 1.2–1.5 increased likelihood.
- Metabolic syndrome is highly prevalent in treated schizophrenia, with estimates between 19.4% and 68%; rates in bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder are reported as 22–30% and 42%, respectively. Diabetes prevalence is 2–3 fold higher in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorder, and 1.2–2.6 times higher with depression or depressive symptoms.
- Health care disparities are marked: baseline metabolic testing rates for patients starting novel antipsychotics vary between 8% and less than 30%, with follow-up assessments in only 8.8%; in CATIE, non-treatment rate for diabetes was 45.3%, and up to 88% of schizophrenia patients had untreated dyslipidemia and up to 62% untreated hypertension.
Methods
- Selective, rather than systematic, review of clinical data on physical health problems in people with SMI.
- Searched MEDLINE (1966–August 2010) combining MeSH terms for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder with MeSH terms for major general physical disease categories; included pertinent reviews and cross-referenced additional relevant studies, sometimes using specific physical illnesses as search terms.
- Aimed to identify prevalence figures and factors contributing to excess morbidity and mortality, including lifestyle, psychotropic medication effects, and disparities in health care access, utilization, and provision.
Limitations
- Stated: the review is selective rather than systematic and did not include all physical diseases.
- Stated: there is a paucity of information and a lack of large, well-designed, prospective comparative studies during pregnancy; data on antidepressant-associated diabetes risk are sparse; cancer findings in SMI are conflicting.
- Evident: prevalence estimates vary widely by metabolic syndrome criteria, country or region, gender, ethnicity, age group, and antipsychotic treatment, limiting any single summary figure.

The Men and Women results report more sexual dysfunction among patients with schizophrenia than among controls.

The Results report sexual dysfunction in 45% of patients taking antipsychotics versus 17% of normal controls.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
