Relative risk of diabetes, dyslipidaemia, hypertension and the metabolic syndrome in people with severe mental illnesses: Systematic review and metaanalysis

Key Points

• To determine the relative risk and prevalence of diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome in individuals with severe mental illness.
• Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating cardiometabolic risk factors across published studies of populations with severe mental illness.
• Identified an increased prevalence and risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome among individuals with severe mental illness.
• Observed no increased risk for hypertension, while evidence for dyslipidemia and other risk factors was limited by inconsistent data quality across studies.
