| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In patients with schizophrenia, frailty and sarcopenia (low in muscle mass) were prevalent due to malnutrition and lack of physical activity. In this study, the physical status and bone metabolism were investigated in the long-term hospitalized patients. Higher percentage of body fat in proportion to BMI, low in muscle mass and strength were observed. As a result, the prevalence of sarcopenia in the hospitalized patients was very high. The prevalence of sarcopenia obesity was also high in the users of psychiatric day-care.
Next, we provided individualized nutrition education to the user of psychiatric day care and examined its effectiveness. After the nutrition education, beneficial changes, such as thinking of more nutritionally balanced meals, were observed in the dietary awareness and actual dietary behavior. It was revealed that individualized nutrition education conducted in the psychiatric day care was effective for improvement of dietary awareness and dietary behavior.
