Association Between Metabolic Risk Factors and Cognitive Impairment in Schizophrenia Based on Sex.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Sex differences have been observed in many aspects of schizophrenia, including cognitive deficits. Despite extensive research into the relationship between metabolic factors and cognitive deficits in schizophrenia, few studies have explored the potential sex difference in their association.
