Characteristics of the Three Study Samples
| Characteristics | SCZ, n = 132 | HC, n = 132 | MS, n = 132 | pHealthy | pDysmetabolic |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BMI, kg/m2, Mean (SD) | 35 (6.2) | 24 (3.8) | 34 (4.5) | <.001 | .21 |
| Age, Years, Mean (SD) | 41 (12) | 40 (12) | 57 (7.7) | .65 | <.001 |
| Sex, Female/Male, n | 73/59 | 75/57 | 71/57 | .9 | 1 |
| Smoking Status, Current/Never/Previous, n | 64/38/30 | 16/70/44 | 14/61/57 | <.001 | <.001 |
For quantitative variables (BMI and age), p values are obtained from Wilcoxon tests; for qualitative variables (sex, smoking status), they are obtained from χ2 tests. pHealthy compares SCZ and HC, pDysmetabolic compares SCZ and MS.
BMI, body mass index; HC, healthy control; MS, metabolic syndrome; SCZ, schizophrenia.
