Why the study?
People with psychotic disorders face a significantly increased risk of physical diseases and excessive mortality rates.
Does increased physical activity following a 2-year individualized lifestyle intervention improve salutogenic health and HbA1c in persons with psychotic disorders?

Supports physical activity counseling in psychotic disorders; leaves open causal confirmation in randomized trials.
People with psychotic disorders have a significantly increased risk of physical diseases and excessive mortality rates. The aim of the study was to investigate relationships between changes in physical activity, levels of salutogenic health, and glycated hemoglobin among people with psychotic disorders after participation in an individualized lifestyle intervention. The results from analyses showed that self-reported increased physical activity was positively associated with the level of salutogenic health and negatively associated with the level of HbA1c on an individual level. The results indicate that coordinated, individualized, holistic and health-promoting nursing care is crucial to enabling enhanced lifestyle within this vulnerable target group.
