Abstract
Background: Some studies suggest that schizophrenia may be associatedwith an increased risk of diabetes, independently of antipsychotic medications and other confounding factors. Previous studies have also suggested that there is an increasedprevalence of diabetes in the relatives of schizophrenia probands. Method: First-degree siblings of schizophrenia probands (N = 6) and control subjects (N = 12) were administered a glucosetolerance test. Subjects were matched for gender, age, body mass index, neighborhood of residence, socio-economic status and smoking habits. Results: The siblings of schizophreniaprobands had a significantly increased two-hour mean glucose concentration compared to the control subjects (respective means [SD] were 100.5 mg/dL [27.7] vs. 78.0 [12.3]; p
