Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Association between Schizophrenia and BMD based upon the type and number of drug i.e. (i.) FGA vs SGA (First generation antipsychotics vs Second generation antipsychotics); (ii.) Prolactin Sparing vs Prolactin raising APD; (iii.) Single APD vs multiple APDs and Duration of illness and on treatment for a) Less than 2 years b) 2 years to 9 years c) More than 10 years   At baseline 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. Association of BMD & endocrine & metabolic parameters
2.Evaluation of BMD in relation to severity of illness, quality of life, physical activity
3. Association of BMD between quality of life & disability with positive & negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
4.Association of BMD with bone health promoting nutraceuticals in the form of vitamin D & Calcium supplementation in past 6 months

Brief Summary  
In this research, the association between schizophrenia and BMD will be evaluated using a combination of DEXA results and scales via statistical methods. PANSS will be employed to assess the severity of schizophrenia symptoms, while the IPAQ will gauge physical activity levels. IDEAS will assess disability, and the WHOQOL-BREF will evaluate overall quality of life. Additionally, the UKU-SERS will be used to monitor medication side effects. Statistical analyses, including correlation and regression techniques, will be applied to determine the relationships among these variables and their impact on BMD, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these factors will interrelate in the context of schizophrenia. 
Outcome measurement method 1. Clinical records of the patient 2. Blood investigations 3. Radiological investigation 4. Structured/semi-structured interviews 5. Relevant questionnaires/scales
