Traditional genetic case-control comparisons are challenged by the extent of heterogeneity and comorbidity within and across these conditions. In this study we used psychiatry-related traits in the general population in multivariate analyses to explore the potential genetic links with insulin-related traits.</div><div>Using large-scale genetic studies (N = 17,666–697,734) genomic structural equation modeling was applied to identify the factor structure best representing the joint genetic architecture of traits in the population that are linked to ADHD, ASD, and OCD, and five IR-related measures: body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting plasma insulin, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and the Homeostatic Model assessment for IR (HOMA-IR). Next, multivariate genome-wide association analyses were performed on the psychiatry-IR related factors to explore genetic associations, followed by functional mapping and annotation of the genetic results.</div><div>Factor analyses indicated that a three-factor model fitted the data best (χ2(df = 9) = 18.79, AIC = 56.8, CFI = 0.99, SRMR = 0.068). Two of the three genetic factors included both psychiatric and insulin-related traits, one factor connected ADHD symptoms with three IR-related measures (BMI, FPG, HbA1c) and another factor OCD symptoms with HbA1c. Genetic analyses revealed 57 genes significantly associated with the ADHD-IR factor (p < 2.961e-06) and one gene, <em>MTNR1B</em> (p = 3.44e-07), with the OCD/OCS-IR factor. Neurodevelopmental pathways were associated to the psychiatric and insulin-related factors and expression of the associated variants was enriched in brain tissues and during brain development.</div><div>These findings suggest a shared genetic liability between psychiatric symptoms and IR-related measures in the general population, indicating that the link between insulin resistance and psychiatry is not solely driven by disorder status and offering new perspectives on the underlying molecular genetics between them.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100952,"journal":{"name":"Neuroscience Applied","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 107017"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13312545/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148355049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although medical care has advanced, the mortality gap between individuals with SMI and the general population has continued to expand in many countries over recent decades. This disparity is exacerbated by systemic healthcare inequities, fragmented healthcare, insufficient use of preventive measures, and the burden of multimorbidity.</div><div>This paper proposes six actionable strategies to reduce the excess mortality associated with SMI by integrating physical healthcare into psychiatric services. Across all recommendations, we explicitly embed lifestyle interventions, especially structured physical activity given its comparatively stronger evidence base in SMI, alongside sleep and nutrition support delivered through pragmatic, accessible programs. First, psychoeducation should be expanded to include physical health literacy. Second, structured smoking cessation programs must be implemented. Third, early identification and management of obesity, including pharmacological interventions, should be prioritized. Fourth, hypertension should be routinely screened and treated within psychiatric settings. Fifth, dyslipidaemia and diabetes require systematic monitoring and timely initiation of statins, metformin and GLP-1 receptor agonists. Sixth, these interventions must be delivered through integrated care models that ensure continuity, optimal self-management, and long-term outcome monitoring. Together, these six approaches offer a framework to narrow the mortality gap between people with SMI and the general population, as well as support a shift toward holistic, person-centered care. We synthesise the evidence on physical health disparities in SMI and provide practical, evidence-based recommendations for psychiatric settings. Together, these strategies offer a feasible, person-centered framework to improve health outcomes and reduce premature mortality in individuals with SMI.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100952,"journal":{"name":"Neuroscience Applied","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 106993"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147395772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
