Abstract

Patients with psychotic disorders exhibit elevated mortality and morbidity rates compared to the general population primarily due to comorbid somatic diseases. This study aims to describe the prevalence of selected risk factors and somatic disorders among psychiatric patients with a diagnosis of psychotic disorder. Material and methods: Data were retrieved from Greenland's nationwide electronic medical record. The study population consists of 104 patients diagnosed with a psychotic disorder, encompassing schizophrenia or schizotypal and delusional disorders, residing in Nuuk. The study population comprised 104 patients (68 males and 36 females) with a mean age of 40 years. More than 80% were daily smokers, and 68% had harmful use of cannabis. More than half had dyslipidemia (any imbalance in lipids), while over a quarter were classified as obese with body mass index of 30 kg/m2 or higher. Eighteen percent had hypertension, and six percent suffered from diabetes. This study revealed a notable prevalence of risk factors for somatic diseases, particularly smoking and cannabis use among patients with schizophrenia in Nuuk, indicating that a high prevalence of somatic diseases might be expected as the population gets older and the risk of developing somatic diseases becomes greater. Increased focus on monitoring and preventing those as part of the health care is recommended.

格陵兰精神病患者躯体疾病的药物使用和生活方式风险因素。
与普通人群相比,精神病患者的死亡率和发病率较高,这主要是由于合并躯体疾病所致。本研究旨在描述被诊断为精神障碍的精神病患者中某些风险因素和躯体疾病的患病率。材料和方法数据取自格陵兰的全国电子病历。研究对象包括居住在努克的 104 名被诊断患有精神障碍的患者,包括精神分裂症或精神分裂分型和妄想障碍。研究对象包括 104 名患者(68 名男性和 36 名女性),平均年龄为 40 岁。80%以上的人每天吸烟,68%的人有害使用大麻。半数以上患有血脂异常(任何血脂失衡),超过四分之一的人被归类为肥胖,体重指数为 30 kg/m2 或更高。18%的人患有高血压,6%的人患有糖尿病。这项研究显示,在努克的精神分裂症患者中,躯体疾病的风险因素,尤其是吸烟和吸食大麻的情况非常普遍,这表明随着人口年龄的增长,躯体疾病的患病率可能会越来越高。建议在保健工作中更加注重监测和预防这些疾病。
