Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to identify demographic, clinical, and nutritional factors related to malnutrition in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia. Design and Methods: We used a descriptive cross-sectional design. Between June and July 2016, 188 community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia were included in this study. Findings: Of the 188 participants, 4.3% were classified as malnourished, and 40.4% were at risk of malnutrition. Living status, body weight, and appetite were significant factors related to malnutrition in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia. Practice Implication: Assessment of nutritional status should be considered along with demographic and nutritional factors in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia.
