Article Synopsis
- - Several studies suggest a higher occurrence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in people with psychiatric disorders and individuals receiving cross-sex hormone treatment for gender dysphoria (GD), but the specific prevalence of MetS in hormone-treated GD patients with psychiatric issues has not been explored before.
- - In this study involving 122 metabolically healthy GD patients over two years of hormonal treatment, changes were observed in MetS-related health parameters, with significant differences noted from their initial condition; notably, MetS developed in 14.8% and 17.2% of the sample after one and two years, respectively.
- - The findings reveal that those with concurrent psychiatric problems exhibited a much higher prevalence of MetS, with 50%
