Abstract:

Schizophrenia patients are especially vulnerable to metabolic diseases, obesity, and overweight. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how eating habits, permitted dietary modifications, and altered nutrition regimens affected the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. Methods: 52 inhabitants of a 24-hour social welfare home for people with severe mental illnesses participated in this three-year study. Dietary adjustments included altering the sources of essential nutrients and harmonizing the diet’s energy and nutritional value. In addition to body composition, anthropometric (body weight, waist circumference, hip circumference) and metabolic (concentrations of glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and its HDL and LDL fractions) parameters were tracked. Results: Nutrition supervision and diet modification led to positive changes in the parameters tracked in nearly all of the individuals, including 12 female patients with schizophrenia.
