Schizophrenia is associated with a two- to threefold greater risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with risk in the general population, contributing to a 10- to 20-year reduced life expectancy (1, 2). Despite increasing awareness of this comorbidity over recent decades, the level of CVD risk does not appear to have decreased for individuals with schizophrenia (3), and there has been little or no progress in decreasing the mortality gap (2, 4, 5).
