title: Gender differences in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in chronic hospitalized patients with schizophrenia on long-term antipsychotics.
abstract: Gender-specific relationships between diabetes mellitus (DM) and schizophrenia have previously received little systematic study. The results showed that the overall DM prevalence was 20% with rates of 17% (58/343) in males and 27% (46/172) in females (p<0.01). Furthermore, increased body mass index (BMI), abdominal obesity and antipsychotic types were predictors of diabetes in these chronic schizophrenic patients.
