Time effect on cardiometabolic risk indicators in patients with bipolar disorder: a longitudinal case-control study.

ABSTRACT: Individuals with bipolar disorder are at increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. Most studies have described increases in cardiometabolic risk indicators (CMRIs) using clinical cut-off values. Further, there are no longitudinal studies on CMRIs. We aimed to investigate continuous measures of CMRIs in individuals with bipolar disorder and controls using both cross-sectional and longitudinal data.

Of those, 155 patients a
