Description
Summary:Bioelectrical impedance analysis technology was used tomeasure whole body parameters and electrical resistance and reactance of specific body regions in schizophrenia patients after long-term medication use. Patient data was compared to that of a control group of subjects to analyze metabolic differences. Our experimental group was composed of 60 schizophrenia patients, and the control group was composed of 30 normal subjects. T-test and ANOVA analyses were conducted to compared differences between groups, with confidencev intervals set at 95%. T-test results showed significant differences in body fat levels between groups (F=4.753, p=0.031
