Patients with severe mental illness have a life expectancy 15 to 20 years shorter due to cardiovascular disease.
Among 366 studied patients, 47.2% were women with significant cardiovascular risk from factors like high blood pressure and smoking.
Using Framingham risk scores and logistic regression, key differences in cardiovascular risks were analyzed.
Controlling risk factors such as blood pressure and glucose levels could enhance survival and quality of life for this population.
