<qa>  What is the term for diabetes?Although our original interests were condensed in atypicals, the fact that some hospitals discourage the use of atypical antipsychotics for new onset schizophrenia for policy reasons directs us to a study design looking at both types of therapeutics. Coincidently, such a design may provide some hints to the unresolved research issues mentioned above. The proposed study will bridge these important information gaps, and provide data contributing towards a better understanding of the risk and management of diabetes associated with the use of both types of antipsychotics. As some researchers in this field have described the diabetic related conditions in a broader term called metabolic X-syndrome, a risky condition leading to cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, with insulin resistance as the major outcome, associated with two of the following conditions: truncal obesity deposited in the thorax and abdomen, instead of the hips and thighs, high triglycerides, high LDL cholesterol or hypertension,3 we therefore extend our study to both diabetes and metabolic X-syndrome as a phenotype for further genetic study.
