General Factors That Reduce Cardiovascular Risk in People With Schizophrenia: A Systematic Review

CONCLUSIONS: The CVD risk factors observed in the general population are common among people with schizophrenia. When these risk factors are controlled, the 10-year CHD/CVD risk and VO2Peak/max of these individuals may be improved. Given the elevated CVD risk associated with antipsychotic medications, future researchers should examine modifying CVD risk factors to mitigate the additional risks associated with medication use in this population.PMID:37747326 | DOI:10.1097/JCN.0000000000001045
