People with severe mental illness (SMI) – schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive appear at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), but a comprehensive meta‐analysis is lacking. We conducted large‐scale assessing the prevalence incidence of CVD; coronary heart disease; stroke, transient ischemic attack or cerebrovascular congestive failure; peripheral vascular CVD‐related death in SMI patients (N=3,211,768) versus controls (N=113,383,368) (92 studies). The pooled CVD (mean age 50...
People with severe mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or major depressive disorder) die up to 15 years prematurely due chronic somatic comorbidities. Sedentary behavior and low physical activity are independent yet modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease premature mortality in these people. A comprehensive meta-analysis exploring is lacking this vulnerable population. We conducted a investigating sedentary levels their correlates people illness. Major electronic...
Background Hippocampal volume reduction has been reported inconsistently in people with major depression. Aims To evaluate the interrelationships between hippocampal volumes, memory and key clinical, vascular genetic risk factors. Method Totals of 66 depression 20 control participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging clinical assessment. Measures severity, psychomotor retardation, verbal visual specific factors were collected. Results Reduced volumes occurred older depression, those both...
Recent neuroimaging evidence has led to the proposal that freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease is due dysfunctional interactions between frontoparietal cortical regions and subcortical structures, such as striatum. However, date, no study employed task-based functional connectivity analyses explore this hypothesis. In study, we used a data-driven multivariate approach impaired communication distributed neuronal networks 10 patients with gait, matched clinical history behaviour. Patients...
Freezing of gait is a devastating symptom advanced Parkinson’s disease yet the neural correlates this phenomenon remain poorly understood. In study, severity freezing was assessed in 18 patients with on series timed ‘up and go’ tasks, which all suffered from episodes clinical gait. The same also underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging virtual reality paradigm, performance has recently been shown to correlate actual Statistical parametric maps were created that compared blood oxygen...
Abstract Aim Initiating antipsychotic medication frequently induces rapid, clinically significant weight gain. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a lifestyle and life skills intervention, delivered within 4 weeks initiation, in attenuating gain youth aged 14–25 years with first‐episode psychosis ( FEP ). Methods undertook prospective, controlled study two early community services. Intervention participants n = 16) received 12‐week individualized intervention by specialist clinical...
