与一般人群相比，不健康的生活方式以及其他风险因素导致精神病患者的死亡率和身体并发症发生率较高。我们收集了193名精神病患者的生活方式数据，这些患者与意大利东北部的社区精神卫生服务机构有联系，并将其与同一地区的一般人群的代表性样本（共3219名患者）进行了比较。饮食、运动、吸烟和饮酒在精神病患者中更糟。超重或肥胖的患者比例较高。社会人口统计学和生活方式变量之间的关联表明，老年患者锻炼较少，女性患者倾向于吸烟和饮酒较少，而受教育程度较高的患者往往有较高的饮酒水平。精神病患者有不健康的生活方式，他们似乎是更难的建议比一般人口，这表明有必要在这一人口的具体健康促进方案。
Unhealthy lifestyles contribute, with other risk factors, to the high prevalence of mortality and physical comorbidity among mental patients compared to the general population. We collected data on the lifestyles of 193 subjects with psychosis in contact with a Community Mental Health Service in north-eastern Italy and compared them with a representative sample (total: 3219 subjects) of the general population of the same region. Diet, exercise, smoking and alcohol consumption were worse in mental patients. A higher percentage of patients was overweight or obese. The associations between socio-demographic and lifestyles variables showed that older patients exercise less, female patients tend to smoke and use alcohol less, while more educated patients tend to have higher alcohol consumption levels. Mental patients have unhealthier lifestyles and they appear to be more refractory to recommendations than the general population, indicating the necessity of specific health promotion programmes in this population.
