Aim: The article aims to study the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and subthreshold MS in antipsychotic naïve patients with schizophrenia. Materials and methods: Forty-six antipsychotic naïve patients diagnosed with schizophrenia were evaluated for the presence of metabolic abnormalities using International Diabetes Federation and modified National Cholesterol Education Program - Third Adult Treatment Panel criteria. Results: Five patients (10.86%) fulfilled International Diabetes Federation criteria for MS and six patients (13.04%) met modified National Cholesterol Education Program - Third Adult Treatment Panel criteria for MS. Additionally, 14 (30.43%) more patients fulfilled 2 out of the 5 criteria for MS and another 19 (41.3%) fulfilled 1 criterion for MS. Of the 19 patients who fulfilled one criterion for MS, 18 had an abnormality other than increase in waist circumference. Conclusion: Findings of the present study suggest that although only few antipsychotic naïve patients diagnosed with schizophrenia have MS, a significantly large proportion of patients have subsyndromal MS. Awareness of this in clinicians can have implications in the selection of antipsychotic medication. |
