People with severe mental illness, including schizophrenia, are about twice as likely to die from heart disease as the general population, an analysis published Tuesday found.

In the review of data from 108 published studies that collectively included more than 30 million participants, people with severe mental illness had a 96% higher risk for death from heart disease than the general population, the researchers said.

Those with schizophrenia were 80% more likely to develop heart disease and 93% more likely to die from compared with the general population, the data, published Tuesday by the journal PLOS Medicine, showed.
