Abstrakt: Background: Patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) have a shortened life expectancy related to cardiovascular diseases. We investigated the association of cognitive, positive, and negative symptoms with cardiometabolic dysregulations in SSD patients.
Methods: Overall, 1,119 patients from the Genetic Risk and Outcome in Psychosis (GROUP) study were included. Cognitive function, positive and negative symptoms were assessed at baseline, 3-year, and 6-year. Cardiometabolic biomarkers were measured at 3-year follow-up. We used linear and multinomial logistic regression models to test the association between cardiometabolic biomarkers and clinical trajectories and performed mediation analyzes, while adjusting for clinical and demographic confounders.
Results: Cognitive performance was inversely associated with increased body mass index (mean difference [β], β high  = -1.24, 95% CI = -2.28 to 0.20, P  = 0.02) and systolic blood pressure (β mild  = 2.74, 95% CI = 0.11 to 5.37, P  = 0.04). The severity of positive symptoms was associated with increased glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels (β low  = -2.01, 95% CI = -3.21 to -0.82, P  = 0.001). Increased diastolic blood pressure (OR high-decreased  = 1.04, 95% CI = 1.01 to 1.08, P  = 0.02; OR high-increased  = 1.04, 95% CI = 1.00 to 1.08, P  = 0.048) and decreased high-density lipoprotein (OR high-increased  = 6.25, 95% CI = 1.81 to 21.59, P  = 0.004) were associated with more severe negative symptoms. Increased HbA1c (OR moderate  = 1.05, 95% CI = 1.01 to 1.10, P  = 0.024; OR high  = 1.08, 95% CI = 1.02 to 1.14, P  = 0.006) was associated with more severe positive symptoms. These associations were not mediated by antipsychotics.
Conclusions: We showed an association between cardiometabolic dysregulations and clinical and cognitive symptoms in SSD patients. The observed associations underscore the need for early identification of patients at risk of cardiometabolic outcomes.
