We examined the association between cortisol/DHEAS ratio and metabolic syndrom e (MetS) in patients suffering from bipol ar disorder and schizophrenia. The only subcomponent of MetS positively associated with the cortisol/DHEAS ratio was diastoli c blood pressure. Possible reasons for thi s finding, as well as study limitations, are discussed.
