“…Interestingly, the prevalence of obesity in this study was higher than in another study on schizophrenics in Brazil in 2009 (25.6% obesity), which showed that, similar to the Brazilian population, the incidence of obesity among patients with schizophrenia has been increasing over the years [38]. This difference might be related to the different medications associated with weight gain and increased consumption of ultra-processed food in this population [34,39,40].…”

“…Pacientes tratados com antipsicótico, além de apresentarem significante aumento de peso, podem desenvolver anormalidades lipídicas, como a elevação dos níveis de LDL-colesterol e triglicerídeos. Sendo assim, necessitam de monitoramento frequente desses ní-veis plasmáticos e intervenção nutricional precoce, visando aperfeiçoar o tratamento 2,13 . Também se observa alta frequência de tabagismo, com elevado consumo diário de cigarros.…”

“…O uso de antipsicóticos atípicos, com exceção da ziprasidona, é associado a obesidade, diabetes, dislipidemia, síndrome metabólica e elevada mortalidade 1,2 . No Brasil, o uso de antipsicóticos atípicos aumentou muito nos últimos anos.…”

“…Atypical offer several important advantages over typical, including its characteristics of low risk of extrapyramidal symptoms such as akathisia, dystonia, parkinsonism and tardive dyskinesia, improved cognition, reduced suicide and minor depression compared with typical antipsychotics at clinically relevant doses. 5 The use of antipsychotics is an important component in the clinical treatment of patients with schizophrenia, but has been associated with metabolic abnormalities 5 and also obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome and high mortality. 6 Associated with pharmacological treatment, nutritional and psychological treatments are very important in the improvement of the condition of these patients.…”

“…These patients deserve greater attention in the management and intervention in weight. 5 The objective of this study is to evaluate the association of obesity with the use of clozapine in schizophrenic patients, as explained above, there is an increasing prevalence of obesity in recent decades, which compromises the expectation and quality of life (QoL) of these patients.…”
