Abstract
Aim: Delivery via caesarean section is repeatedly associated with an increased risk for components of metabolic syndrome among individuals from the general population, while data for patients with schizophrenia are scarse and contradictory. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether, and to what extent, the type of delivery contributes to body mass index (BMI) values and lipid and glucose concentrations among two groups of patients with schizophrenia without therapy: first-episode patients (N = 48), and chronic patients, nonadherent to antipsychotic medications (N = 83). Patients and methods: Information regarding antipsychotic nonadherence and type of delivery was obtained from anamnestic and heteroanamnestic data. Plasma total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (low density lipoprotein cholesterol), HDL cholesterol (high density lipoprotein cholesterol), triglyceride and glucose levels were determined after a 12-hour fasting period. Results: The prevalence of delivery via caesarean section was 8.4 %. Triglyceride concentrations were significantly higher among patients born via cesarean section than among patients born via vaginal delivery 1.5 (0.6 – 4.3) vs. 1.1 (0.3 – 3.1); z = -2.21, p = 0.027. Type of delivery contributes by approximately 3.3 % to triglyceride concentration variability. Conclusions: Our results indicate that type of delivery influences to a smaller extent plasma triglyceride concentration among patients with schizophrenia without medication. Delivery via caesarean section represents a risk factor for increased triglyceride concentrations.
