Article Abstract

This review and meta-analysis aimed to describe the existing literature on interventions for bipolar disorder (BD) targeting the 6 pillars of Lifestyle Psychiatry: diet, physical activity (PA), substance use (SU), sleep, stress management, and social relationships (SR). Randomized Controlled Trials that examined the efficacy of lifestyle interventions targeting improvement in depressive/(hypo)manic symptom severity, lifestyle patterns, functioning, quality of life, and/or circadian rhythms were included. The systematic review included 18 studies, while the meta-analysis included studies targeting the same lifestyle domains and outcomes. Sleep (n = 10), PA (n = 9), and diet (n = 8) were the most targeted domains, while SU, SM and SR were least targeted (n = 4 each). Combined diet and PA interventions led to significant improvements in depressive symptoms (SMD: -0.46; 95%CI: -0.88, -0.04; p = 0.03), and functioning (SMD: -0.47; 95%CI: -0.89, -0.05; p = 0.03). Sleep interventions also led to significant improvements in depressive symptoms (SMD: -0.80; 95%CI: -1.21, -0.39; p < 0.01). Future research should focus on developing more multidimensional lifestyle interventions for a potentially greater impact on clinical and functional outcomes of BD.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the structure, patient characteristics, and preliminary clinical outcomes of a dedicated interdisciplinary outpatient clinic for paediatric chronic and complex pain in Italy, with a focus on the feasibility of implementing a biopsychosocial care model.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of all patients referred to the Paediatric Specialised Pain Clinic of the University of Padua between January 2023 and May 2024. Data on demographics, clinical diagnoses, pain characteristics, treatments, and follow-up outcomes were collected.

Purpose: To investigate how a group-based lifestyle intervention affects food choices and if the dietary patterns at the end of the intervention are associated with incidence type 2 diabetes (T2D). We also investigated if the possible associations between diet and T2D risk were modified by the genetic risk for T2D.

Methods: Participants in the T2D-GENE study were men with prediabetes aged 50-75 years, body mass index  ≥ 25 kg/m, belonging in either low or high genetic risk score (GRS) tertile for T2D.

Background: Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) bears the highest global burden of cervical cancer. Living with the disease is a complex experience, leading to significant changes across various biopsychosocial dimensions, which in turn affect the quality of life of affected women.

Aims: This review aimed to synthesize available scientific evidence on the life experiences of women diagnosed with cervical cancer in SSA in order to generate valuable insights into the care of the affected population.

Background: Cancer survivors may be more likely to experience accelerated declines in physical function compared to cancer-free controls, but objective data and knowledge of preventive interventions are limited.

Methods: The Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) study was a multicenter, single-blinded, randomized trial conducted at 8 centers across the United States that enrolled 1635 sedentary adults aged 70-89 years and with physical limitations but who could walk 400 m at baseline, of which 371 (22.7%) reported a history of cancer.
