Why the study?
Quantifying long-term cardiovascular morbidity risk beyond metabolic syndrome in patients with severe mental illness may help clinicians implement preventive strategies.
Does severe mental illness increase the estimated 10-year cardiovascular risk in adults compared to the general population?
Does severe mental illness increase the estimated 10-year cardiovascular risk in adults compared to the general population?
Women with severe mental illness have a significantly higher estimated 10-year cardiovascular risk compared to the general population, highlighting the need for targeted preventive strategies in this vulnerable group.
