This study aim to determine changes in body weight, body fat percentage and lipid profiles and to stress the importance of early nutrition intervention in the management of psychotic illness patient treated with antipsychotic drugs. This is a prospective longitudinal study conducted for 3 months in Hospital Mesra Bukit Padang, Sabah. Total 150 patients with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV (DSM-IV) diagnosis of psychotic illness (either Olanzapine or Risperidone only at any dosage) first started or restarted after a treatment gap of at least 6 months were recruited. Weight, height and body fat percentage measured using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) (Model Omron HBF-375) and blood fasting lipid test were taken from the point of starting medication for 12 weeks. Data were analyzed using repeated measures of ANOVA for statistical method. All variables shows significant mean differences (p< 0.05) in increasing pattern throughout the 12 weeks of treatment. However, the total cholesterol of risperidone patients has no significant mean difference from baseline to week 6 (p=0.282). It's proven that there is increment in body weight, body fat percentage and lipid profiles among patients on olanzapine and risperidone. The limitation of this study may relate to the drugs' dosage and method used in assessing the body composition. It is suggested that early nutrition intervention is needed to control unnecessary gain of weight, body fat and lipid profiles in the management of patient with psychotic illnesses. 2019 Thesis https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/25211/ https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/25211/1/The%20effects%20of%20Antipsychotic%20drugs%20on%20body%20composition%20and%20lipid%20profiles%20of%20patients%20with%20Psychotic%20illnesses.pdf text en public mphil masters Universiti Malaysia Sabah Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences
