NCT ID NCT07419321
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether social isolation contributes to the early health problems seen in people with schizophrenia, who often die 10–20 years earlier than others. Researchers will follow 650 participants (500 with schizophrenia and 150 siblings) aged 40–70, tracking medical records and social activity over time. The goal is to understand how loneliness impacts physical health and to guide future treatments that could reduce early death.
