A member asked:
What would the life expectancy of someone that has paranoid schizophrenia be?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Decreased: People with schizophrenia tend to have a decreased life expectancy of about 12–15 years. This is primarily because of its association with obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and smoking. There is an increased risk of suicide but this plays more of a minor role in comparison to the lifestyle choices.
