Abstract

Diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome are highly prevalent in patients with severe mental illness and can impose a major physical health burden. To determine how anthropometric and metabolic features changed over time in a retrospective cohort of people with Severe Mental Illness living in Cheshire, UK. In all, 1307 individuals on the severe mental illness Register were followed up between 2002 and 2012 in UK general practice. Subjects were identified through a pseudanonymised search of general practice registers. Baseline body mass index was 28.6 kg/m(2) increasing to 31.0 at 10-year follow-up ( r(2) = 0.84; p = 0.0002). There was a significant increase in fasting blood glucose from 5.72 to 6.79 mmol/L ( r(2) = 0.48; p = 0.026). Correspondingly, there was a strong positive univariate relation between increase in body mass index and fasting blood glucose ( r(2) = 0.54; p < 0.0001) taking into account all measurements. Fasting blood glucose also increased slightly with age ( p = 0.028). With increasing use of statins, total cholesterol fell from 4.5 to 3.9 mmol/L ( r(2) = 0.88; p = 0.0001), as did low-density lipoprotein cholesterol from 3.43 to 2.35 mmol/L ( r(2) = 0.94; p = 0.0001). In multivariate models, adjusting for age...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
