Abstract

Many people treated in secure inpatient services have a serious mental illness and are obese. This study aimed to assess the predictive power of demographic, clinical and pharmacological factors on secure inpatient weight gain during the initial stages of treatment. Retrospective data pertaining to body weight, sex, diagnosis, and prescribed medication was collected for 209 secure psychiatric inpatients. Lower admission bodyweight and non-antipsychotic medication with a low risk of inducing weight gain were the only significant predictors of weight gain (R² = .050). Clinical implications of these findings are discussed.

摘要

许多在安全住院服务中接受治疗的人患有严重的精神疾病并且肥胖。本研究旨在评估人口统计学、临床和药理学因素对治疗初始阶段住院患者体重安全增加的预测能力。收集了 209 名安全精神病住院患者的体重、性别、诊断和处方药物的回顾性数据。较低的入院体重和引起体重增加风险较低的非抗精神病药物是体重增加的唯一显着预测因素 (R ² = .050)。讨论了这些发现的临床意义。
