Introduction and objectives

Schizophrenic patients are prone to osteopenia and osteoporosis due to various reasons. No research has ever been conducted on this field in Iran.

Aims

The aim of this study was to determine the bone mineral density in schizophrenic patients.

Methods

In a cross- sectional and descriptive study with random sampling, we used (DEXA) to determine Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in the lumbar and neck femur region of 85 in- schizophrenics and they were compared with general population. Statistical analysis was done finally.

Results

Sixty eight of patients were males. The average age of males and females was 39.61± 6.77 and 36.29± 7.58 years respectively. The mean femur neck BMD of male and female patients were 0.88± 0.16 and 0.87± 0.15 respectively (Pv = 0.76). Mean lumbar BMD of male and female patients was 0.94± 0.18 and 0.96± 0.14 respectively (Pv = 0.761). Liner significant correlation was not found between age and femur neck BMD (P= 0.782). Liner significant correlation was found between femur neck BMD and lumbar BMD (P< 0.001). Frequency of osteopenia in patient with the age of 30-50 years was significantly higher than other patients (P= 0.011). Frequency of femur neck osteopenia and osteoporosis were 50.6% and 4.7% respectively and frequency of lumbar osteopenia and osteoporosis were 40% and 14.1% respectively.

Conclusions

Schizophrenic patients had lower bone mineral density than general population.
