Physical activity as a vital sign in patients with schizophrenia: Evidence and clinical recommendations

Schizophrenia Research
D VancampfortSimon Rosenbaum

Abstract

This study investigated whether in patients with schizophrenia the Physical Activity Vital Sign (PAVS) assessment can identify those at higher risk of cardio-metabolic abnormalities. One hundred patients with schizophrenia completed the PAVS-questions exploring whether they adhered to the general physical activity recommendations, underwent a full-fasting metabolic screening, and performed a six-minute walk test (6 MWT). Those who do not adhere to the health recommendations according to the PAVS (n=61) were significantly older (37.1±11.3 versus 32.5±8.5 years, P=0.033) and more likely to be women (30/36 versus 31/64, P<0.001). Patients who do not meet the physical activity recommendations have a higher BMI (27.0±6.4 versus 23.3±3.1, P=0.017) performed worse on the 6MWT (531.1±84.2 m versus 657.0±98.2 m, P<0.001) and are at a significantly higher risk for cardio-metabolic diseases. Relative risks ranged from 1.07 (0.84-1.36) for having dyslipidemia to 4.65 (1.77-12.17) for having hypertension. PAVS-baseline assessment should be included in the routine assessment of people with schizophrenia.
