Abstract
Increased risk of death by suicide has been reported in First Episode Psychosis (FEP) patients. Low concentrations of lipids have been associated with suicidality and violent suicide methods. The aims were to analyse the relationship between lipid profile at baseline with suicidality and suicide methods in a sample of 332 antipsychotic-naïve FEP patients. Depressive symptomatology (OR=1.15, 95% CI=1.06-1.24) and low LowDensity lipoproteins (LDL) (OR=0.99, 95% CI= 0.98-1.00) were significantly related with suicidal behaviour. Patients who used violent suicide methods did not show significant low levels of lipoproteins. Low LDL could be considered in the assessment of suicide risk.
