Sažetak
Comorbidity of somatic and psychological illnesses is one of the most scientific and clinical challenges of modern psychiatry and it is a topic of this research. Metabolic syndrome is defined by a constellation of interconnected physiological, biochemical, clinical, and metabolic factors that directly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and all cause mortality. The purpose of the current study was to investigate frequency, similarity and differences in metabolic syndrome between patients with schizophrenia and patients with depression. The parameters used for comparison were incidence of metabolic syndrome and its components among the patients with schizophrenia, depression and a control group. A total of 124 patients were involved in this study ; 62 with schizophrenia and 62 with depression. These patients were treated during their hospitalization at the Department of Psychiatry, Clinical Hospital Centre Split from November 2011 through May 2012. The control group consists of healthy individuals who are also a part of 10001 Dalmatians Project, conducted at Medical School Split. The results of this study disclose comparative prevalence of metabolic syndrome among patients with schizophrenia and depression. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome according to NCEP-ATPIII criteria was 56.5% for the patients with schizophrenia, 53.2% among the patients with depression and 32.3% among individuals in the control group, which was statistically significant (P=0.002). Furthermore, a detailed analysis of each disease involved in metabolic syndrome showed a statistically significant difference. According to this study, metabolic syndrome in psychiatric disorders appears to be a common problem, so further studies would be necessary, and particularly, a high awareness for this among treating physicians.
