Abstract
Considering that the prevalence of cardio-metabolic syndrome in patients with chronic schizophrenia is two or three times higher than the general population, this study aimed to provide patients with schizophrenia using community psychiatric rehabilitation services with therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) mentoring using a smartphone application and provide inpatients in a psychiatric ward with structured TLC mentoring, to compare improvement in cardio-metabolic factors between the two groups. The home-based community service users using a TLC application were more likely to experience an improvement in their cardio-metabolic factors than the inpatients provided with the structured TLC program.
