The relationship between cognitive impairment in schizophrenia and metabolic syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Bora, E., Akdede, B. B., Alptekin, K.·2017·Psychological Medicine

Abstract

Background: Individuals with schizophrenia are at greater risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS) which is associated with cognitive deficits in the general population. MetS might be potentially an important contributing factor to cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. Method: In the current systematic review and meta-analysis, the findings of 18 studies investigating the association between MetS (and its components) with cognitive impairment in schizophrenia are reviewed. Results: Co-morbidity of MetS ( d = 0.28) and diabetes mellitus ( d = 0.28) were both associated with more severe cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. There was also evidence for a significant relationship between cognitive impairment in schizophrenia and each of the components of MetS including hypertension, dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity and diabetes. Conclusions: MetS is significantly associated with cognitive impairment in schizophrenia and can potentially contribute to functional decline observed in some patients with schizophrenia throughout the course of illness.

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.

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.
