Excess mortality in persons with severe mental disorders: a multilevel intervention framework and priorities for clinical practice, policy and research agendas

TL;DR: This Commission summarises advances in understanding on the topic of physical health in people with mental illness, and presents clear directions for health promotion, clinical care, and future research.

TL;DR: Given the established health benefits of physical activity and its low levels in people with severe mental illness, future interventions specifically targeting the prevention of physical inactivity and sedentary behavior are warranted in this population.

TL;DR: This study represents the most extensive empirical effort as yet to measure disability weights and reports strong evidence of highly consistent results.

TL;DR: A comprehensive analysis of mortality by different types of disorders, presenting both sex-specific and age-specific mortality rate ratios (MRRs) and life-years lost (LYLs) and reveals previously underappreciated features related to competing risks and specific causes of death.

TL;DR: People with mental disorders, including those with substance use disorders, personality disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, or schizophrenia, had greatly increased risks of homicidal death in this large cohort study.

TL;DR: Assessment of the potential of behavioral therapy for the management of obesity in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia through a comprehensive review of all available literature suggests that behavioral interventions in patients diagnosed withizophrenia may prevent future weight gain, and in some instances promote weight loss.

TL;DR: The results suggest that attention to issues of motivating relatives to participate in family intervention, and more focused efforts to address the disruptive effects of drug abuse on the family could improve rates of engagement and retention in family programs for dual disorders.

TL;DR: This is the first report on this topic in the medical literature and seeks data on six common preoperative risk factors and 25 specific adverse outcomes, including death, of schizophrenia patients with appendicitis who underwent appendectomy.
