Psychotic symptoms were evaluated using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale. Cognitive function and automatic thinking were estimated using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale, Verbal Fluency Test, and Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire. Serum biochemical parameters were measured by automatic biochemistry analyzer.Results: One-way ANOVA analysis revealed that differential cognition impairments in schizophrenia patients compared to controls. Furthermore, results of multiple comparisons showed that more serious barriers in orientation, language fluency, and negative automatic thinking existed in the metabolic syndrome group than in the healthy and non-metabolic syndrome groups. Spearman correlation and stepwise linear regression analyses showed that psychopathological symptoms, high waist circumference, and high triglyceride were the predictive factors for negative automatic thoughts, orientation, and language fluency. Those results collectively revealed that high waist circumference, high triglyceride and negative automatic thinking had validity and effectiveness in predicting the cognitive function impairments of the metabolic syndrome group.Conclusion: The present findings strongly supported the notion that aberrant parameters of high waist circumference, high triglyceride and high negative automatic thoughts had validity and effectiveness predictive role for cognitive impairments in the schizophrenics with metabolic syndrome. The schizophrenia patients with metabolic syndrome should receive regular monitoring and adequate treatment for metabolic and psychological risk factors.Keywords: second-generation antipsychotics, negative symptoms, diet, Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale, Verbal Fluency Test
