Type 1 diabetes mellitus and the risk for schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder: a Swedish nationwide register-based cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: This study, in line with previous studies, shows that a diagnosis of T1DM is associated with a decreased risk of schizophrenia. This finding of an inverse association between T1DM and schizophrenia may bring an interesting piece, related to autoimmunity, into the schizophrenia-aetiology puzzle.
