One-year efficacy of the LIFESTYLE intervention in improving diet, physical activity and reducing alcohol use in overweight people with severe mental illness: multicentre randomised controlled trial
Randomised controlled trial improved physical activity and reduced alcohol use in overweight individuals with severe mental illness, highlighting its potential in mental healthcare.
Key Points
The LIFESTYLE intervention improved physical activity and reduced alcohol use significantly at the one-year mark.
Participants showed a 1.43 times higher likelihood of increased weekly metabolic equivalents of task (METs) after intervention.
