Abstract
group there were high rates of positive family history for endocrine disease and 40% were ethnically vulnerable to endocrine disease. The mean waist circumference, weight, BMI and fasting cholesterol were elevated for both groups. There were no cases of type 2 diabetes in the FEPP group vs. 10 cases in the ROMHC group. Conclusions: Although the FEPP group was younger and psychiatrically ill for a shorter duration, their anthropometric, and metabolic parameters were similar to the chronic group. This may be explained due to the higher proportion of individuals with ethnic vulnerability to type 2diabetes in the FEPP group. However, despite the elevated risk factors in the FEPP group, there were no cases o f type 2 diabetes. This indicates a window of opportunity to intervene with prevention strategies.
