Summary:This review explores the understudied topic of nutritional inequality among individuals with schizophrenia, highlighting the complex interplay between diet, genetics, and mental health. Unhealthy dietary patterns, socioeconomic factors, and disordered eating behaviors contribute to malnutrition, increasing the risk of physical health issues and premature mortality. Socioeconomic factors exacerbate nutritional disparities, necessitating targeted interventions. Genetic influences on nutrient metabolism remain under-researched, although nutritional genomics shows potential for personalized interventions. Current research reveals methodological gaps, urging larger sample sizes and standardized approaches. The integration of nutrigenomics, encompassing various omics disciplines, emerges as a transformative tool. The holistic life-cycle approach to schizophrenia management underscores the vital role of nutrition, calling for personalized interventions to enhance mental health outcomes.
