Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Individuals with major psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia are at increased risk for developing metabolic syndrome due to lifestyle- and treatment-related factors. Numerous interventions have been tested in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings to decrease risk factors. Diet and exercise represent the mainstay of weight loss treatment. With this background the review aimed to evaluate the effects of psychoeducation, diet and physical activity interventions on reduction of metabolic syndrome risk factors such as BMI, Body weight, biochemical profiles in schizophrenia. METHODS: The authors conducted database searches of PsychINFO, MEDLINE, Pubmed, Proquest, EBSCO and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and manual searches from 1968 to 2017. Search indentified 11 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Study quality was critically appraised by 2 reviewers using established criteria. The outcome measures were body mass index, body weight, waist circumference, lipid profile, fasting glucose. RESULTS: Interventions led to significant weight reduction (8 studies), reduced body mass index (5 studies), decreased waist circumference (4 studies) and lower blood glucose levels (5 studies). Dietician and nurse led interventions (6 studies). The studies showed non pharmacological interventions were effective in reducing risk factors. CONCLUSION: This review was able to demonstrate effectiveness of peychoeducation, diet and physical activity interventions were helpful to decrease and manage antipsychotic-induced weight gain. Results showed lifestyle interventions are safer and effective for promoting decrease or maintenance of weight and it can be delivered at low cost, safe and improves quality of life.
