Forty-seven subjects finished the study protocol. The result showed that the fasting plasma glucose concentration in schizophrenia patient has no correlation with nutritional status indicator and physical activity level, in which 91.5% subject had normal fasting plasma glucose. However, there is a need for further investigation because 31.9% subject was overweight, 48.9% subject was obesity and 74.5% subject had central obesity.
