Abstract

Objectives: To assess the prevalence and associated factors of metabolic syndrome among psychiatric inpatients at Somdet Chaopraya Institute of Psychiatry.

Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of patients admitted at Somdet Chaopraya Institute of Psychiatry between May and August 2021. The research tools used were 1) metabolic syndrome was determined using the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria 2) general data record form 3) clinical data and 4) medicine received. The statistics used were frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. In addition, associated factors were computed using chi-square test and logistic regression. 

Results: 315 patients were included, of whom 193 were male and 122 were female. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 22.2% (n = 70). The associated factors of metabolic syndrome among this group of patients were age between 40 - 60 years (OR = 2.03, 95%CI = 1.17, 3.51), family history of hypertension (OR = 2.20, 95%CI = 1.07, 4.50), duration of illness more than 10 years (OR = 2.10, 95%CI = 1.16, 3.82) and admission rate more than 2 times per year (OR = 1.90, 95%CI = 1.01, 3.61). In multiple logistic regression analyses, we found that admission rate more than 2 times per year was more risk factor of metabolic syndrome compared to admission rate 0 - 1 times per year with adjusted odds ratios of 2.48 (95%CI: 1.23, 5.00).

Conclusion: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was found to be common in psychiatric patients. Associated factors that should receive more attention when performing history taking were age, family history of hypertension, duration of illness more than 10 years and admission rate more than 2 times per year.
