Compared with the general population, individuals suffering from schizophrenia are more likely to be overweight, a finding attributed to the effect of antipsychotic medications, poor nutrition, and sedentary lifestyle. As evidence accumulates indicating that some aspects of the illness manifest before the onset of psychosis and establishment of the diagnosis, it has been suggested that increased weight, like other metabolic dysfunctions, might precede active illness.
