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.
与普通人群相比，不健康的生活方式与其他风险因素共同导致了精神疾病患者中较高的死亡率和身体合并症患病率。我们收集了意大利东北部一家社区精神卫生服务机构接触到的193名精神病患者的生活方式数据，并将其与该地区普通人群的代表性样本（共3219名受试者）进行了比较。精神疾病患者的饮食、运动、吸烟和饮酒情况较差。超重或肥胖患者的比例更高。社会人口统计学和生活方式变量之间的关联表明，老年患者运动较少，女性患者吸烟和饮酒较少，而受教育程度较高的患者饮酒量往往较高。精神疾病患者的生活方式更不健康，而且他们似乎比普通人群更难接受建议，这表明有必要针对这一人群开展特定的健康促进项目。
