Associations between sedentary behaviour and metabolic parameters in patients with schizophrenia

Vancampfort, Davy, Probst, Michel, Knapen, Jan, Carraro, Attilio, De Hert, Marc·2012·Psychiatry Research

Abstract

This study examined the association between sedentary behaviour and metabolic parameters among patients with schizophrenia. A total of 76 patients and 38 healthy age-, gender- and BMI-matched volunteers were included. Participants were asked for their overall sitting and physical activity behaviour using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Patients were additionally screened for psychiatric symptoms and extrapyramidal side-effects of antipsychotic medication. On average, patients with schizophrenia spent 8.5h per day sitting (versus 6.21h in healthy controls). Patients sitting more than 10.4h per day had a higher BMI, waist circumference and fasting glucose concentrations and experienced more negative and cognitive symptoms than those sitting less than 5.8h per day. Overall sitting time was associated with a significantly greater likelihood of metabolic syndrome. A stepwise backward-elimination multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that sitting time is a significant predictor for BMI. Current results suggest patients with schizophrenia may benefit from reducing total sitting time.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Other diagnostic-independent factors likely influence T2DM frequency, including hyperglycaemia following psychotropic medication use and long-term exposure to unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, as well as potential genetic factors linking psychiatric and medical risk.

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.
