Accelerated Inflammaging in Schizophrenia
This study examines how psychological resilience affects physical and mental health outcomes over time in individuals with schizophrenia. The cohort comprises 333 participants aged 40 to 70 years: 173 people living with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder (PLWS) and 160 non-psychiatric comparison participants (NCs), all recruited from the San Diego area, the United States of America, beginning in 2021. PLWS were enrolled through assisted living facilities, word of mouth, and prior study participation, while NCs were recruited via flyers and websites. Participants have been followed up every 12 to 18 months for as long as 90 months.
