Conclusion: Persons visiting the PER had an increased SMR and substance use disorders were the strongest predictor of premature death within 3 years.

Reducing cardiovascular risk factors in non-selected outpatients with schizophrenia
Conclusion: Our results show that it was difficult to improve physical health in a group of non-selected patients with schizophrenia as part of routine care. The patients were not easily motivated to participate in the interventions, and it was difficult to monitor the recommended metabolic risk measures in the patient group. Future research should focus on simple strategies in health promotion that can be integrated into routine care. (Source: International Journal of Social Psychiatry)
