Abstract
A nationwide cohort study conducted in Taiwan has found that lipid-modifying agents, particularly statins and fibrates, reduce mortality risk in patients with schizophrenia. The reduced risk was apparent for both all-cause and natural-cause mortality, the investigators reported. Study results were published online May 16, 2024, in The British Journal of Psychiatry.
