Sažetak

The cortisol/DHEAS ratio has been found to predict different health outcomes. We examined the association between
cortisol/DHEAS ratio and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in patients suffering from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The only
subcomponent of MetS positively associated with the cortisol/DHEAS ratio was diastolic blood pressure. Possible reasons for this
finding, as well as study limitations, are discussed.
