Hypothesis-generating for MetS effects on cognition and resilience in schizophrenia; longitudinal studies needed before clinical consideration.
Cross-Sectional (n=143)
p-value: p=<0.001
Schizophrenia patients with metabolic syndrome exhibit higher levels of automatic negative thoughts and lower resilience compared to those without metabolic syndrome.
Ma et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Schizophrenia with metabolic syndrome (n=143). Metabolic syndrome vs. Non-metabolic syndrome was evaluated on Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (ATQ) score (p=<0.001). Schizophrenia patients with metabolic syndrome exhibited significantly higher automatic thoughts (F=14.5, p<0.001) and lower resilience (F=8.54, p<0.001) compared to other groups.
