People with mental illness have high levels of dietary risk factors and associated cardiometabolic diseases.
“the high levels of dietary risk factors and associated cardiometabolic diseases associated with mental illness 6,105”
From A meta-review of "lifestyle psychiatry": the role of exercise, smoking, diet and sleep in the prevention and treatment of mental disorders (2020) · cites this paper as [105]
The study’s introduction says people with severe mental illnesses have poorer diets and that poor diet increases their risk of diabetes and cardiovascular mortality. Its discussion also notes higher rates of metabolic disorders among people with schizophrenia. These passages support the claim for severe mental illness, but not its broader wording about people with mental illness generally. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPeople with MDD have a higher total food intake and reduced diet quality.
“For instance, systematic reviews have found that people with MDD are significantly more likely to engage in excessive alcohol and tobacco use131,132, and have a higher total food intake and reduced diet quality133, higher levels of sedentary behavior134, and poorer sleep continuity and quality135, compared to non-depressed people.”
From Comorbidity between major depressive disorder and physical diseases: a comprehensive review of epidemiology, mechanisms and management (2023) · cites this paper as [133]
High levels of dietary risk factors and associated cardiometabolic diseases in people with mental illness provide a basis for considering dietary factors within multidisciplinary healthcare.
“the high levels of dietary risk factors and associated cardiometabolic diseases associated with mental illness 6,105 already provides a basis for considering dietary factors within multidisciplinary healthcare for people with mental illness 106 .”
From A meta-review of "lifestyle psychiatry": the role of exercise, smoking, diet and sleep in the prevention and treatment of mental disorders (2020) · cites this paper as [105]
People with schizophrenia are equally adherent to diabetes medication as the general population.
“Furthermore, recent data have shown that people with schizophrenia are equally adherent to diabetes medication as the general population, thus further supporting the need for healthcare providers to remain optimistic about prescribing cardiometabolic medications in people with mental illness.128”
From The Lancet Psychiatry Commission: a blueprint for protecting physical health in people with mental illness (2019) · cites this paper as [128]
People with depression score significantly higher on measures of dietary inflammation, characterised by greater consumption of foods associated with inflammation and lower intakes of nutritional foods.
“This hypothesis is supported by observational studies which have shown that people with depression score significantly higher on measures of “dietary inflammation,”3 17 characterised by a greater consumption of foods that are associated with inflammation (eg, trans fats and refined carbohydrates) and lower intakes of nutritional foods, which are thought to have anti-inflammatory properties (eg, om”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
