Low lung function in Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia: a hidden risk. Front Physiol 2024; 15:1335798. [PMID: 38737830 PMCID: PMC11084671 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2024.1335798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction: People with serious mental illness (SMI), such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, have a higher risk of premature morbidity and mortality. In the general population, impaired lung function is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We compared lung function between people with and without serious mental illnesses using a cross-sectional study in 9 community mental health units. Methods: Subjects aged 40-70 years with a diagnosis of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder were recruited consecutively. The controls had no psychiatric diagnosis and were not receiving any psychotropics. Spirometry was performed by a trained nurse. We used the 2021 American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society standards for the interpretation of the spirometry results. Results: We studied 287 subjects. People with SMI (n = 169) had lower spirometry values than those without a psychiatric diagnosis (n = 118). An abnormal spirometry pattern (36.1% vs 16.9%, p < 0.001), possible restriction or non-specific (Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry [PRISm]) pattern (17.8% vs 7.6%, p = 0.014), and pattern of airflow obstruction or possible mixed disorder (18.3% vs 9.3%, p = 0.033) were more frequent in people with SMI. Multivariate analyses showed that the PRISm pattern was associated with abdominal circumference (odds ratio [OR] 1.05, 95%CI 1.03-1.08) and that the pattern of airflow obstruction or possible mixed disorder was associated with smoking behavior (OR 5.15, 95%CI 2.06-15.7). Conclusion: People with SMI have impaired lung function, with up to one-third of them showing an abnormal spirometry pattern. This suggests that regular monitoring of lung function and addressing modifiable risk factors, such as tobacco use and obesity, in this population is of paramount importance.

Abstract
Background: The relationship between the prognosis of patients with both chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and a mental disorder (MD) remains unclear. Methods and Results: The study group comprised 157 patients with CTEPH who underwent right heart catheterization and were subdivided into 2 groups according to the presence of MDs: MD and non-MD. The patients with MDs were defined as those who had visited a psychiatrist and were under psychotropic drug treatment. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause death and worsening of PH. The median follow-up period was 1,164 days. The incidence of the primary composite outcome was higher in the MD group than in the non-MD group (24.0% vs. 6.8%), whereas the all-cause mortality rate was comparable between groups (12.0% vs. 6.1%). The mean pulmonary arterial pressure, cardiac index, and pulmonary vascular resistance at baseline were all similar between groups. The Cox proportional hazards model indicated that MD was an independent risk factor for the primary composite outcome (hazard ratio, 2.990; 95% confidence interval, 1.034-8.642). Conclusions: In the present study, concomitant CTEPH and MD was significantly associated with a poor prognosis and such patients should be carefully followed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Individuals with psychosis present a greater prevalence of chronic lung diseases, including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). These chronic respiratory diseases are preceded by early lung function alterations; such as preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) or normal spirometry but low diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO). However, there is no previous evidence on these lung function alterations in psychosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk of having spirometry and DLCO alterations in subjects with psychosis compared with a control group. METHODS Cross-sectional study on a cohort of 170 individuals including 96 subjects with psychosis and 74 sex-age-and smoking habit matched healthy controls. All subjects were under 60 years-old, and without COPD or asthma. Respiratory function was evaluated through spirometry. Clinical characteristics and DLCO values were recorded. RESULTS Patients with psychosis showed lower spirometry results, both in terms of absolute and percentage of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1). Absolute and percentage levels of diffusion were also lower in patients with psychosis. The percentage of individuals with DLCO<80% was higher among patients with psychosis (75% vs. 40%, p < 0.001). And the prevalence of PRISm was higher among patients with psychosis (10.4% vs. 1.4%, p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that psychosis was an independent predictor of DLCO<80% (OR 5.67, CI95% 1.86-17.27). CONCLUSION Patients with psychosis and females had early alterations in lung function. These results suggest that early screening for lung disease should be encouraged in psychosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tobacco smoking has been described as the main cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and this habit is clearly more frequent among individuals with psychosis than in the general population, with rates reaching up to 60%. However, little attention has been focused on the association of COPD and psychosis. We aimed to explore the risk of presenting early lung function alterations in a group of individuals with psychosis. METHODS Following an observational cross-sectional design we studied a cohort of individuals with established psychosis (N=128), and compared them with a sex, age, and smoking habit matched control group (N=79). We evaluated respiratory symptoms by means of mMRC, CAT and Dyspnea-12 scales. And lung function through spirometry tests. RESULTS Individuals with psychosis presented more respiratory symptoms than controls. Similarly, we observed significant differences in the lung function tests between these two groups, where individuals with psychosis presented worse results in most of the spirometry mean values (FEV1 or forced expiratory volume in the first one second: 3.29L vs. 3.75L, p<0.001; forced vital capacity or FVC: 4.25L vs. 4.72L, p=0.002; and FEV1/FVC ratio: 0.78 vs. 0.80, p=0.052). Patients also presented worse values of lung diffusion, with lower diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) than controls (6.95 vs. 8.54mmol/min/kPa, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The individuals with psychosis in our study presented greater respiratory symptoms and poorer lung function measured through spirometry. These signs have been described as early signs of COPD.

Abstract
Background This study has two main objectives: to describe the prevalence of undetected chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a clinical sample of smokers with severe mental illness (SMI), and to assess the value of the Tobacco Intensive Motivational Estimated Risk tool, which informs smokers of their respiratory risk and uses brief text messages to reinforce intervention. Method A multicenter, randomized, open-label, and active-controlled clinical trial, with a 12-month follow-up. Outpatients with schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder were randomized either to the experimental group—studied by spirometry and informed of their calculated lung age and degree of obstruction (if any)—or to the active control group, who followed the 5 A’s intervention. Results The study sample consisted of 160 patients (71.9% SZ), 78.1% of whom completed the 12-month follow-up. Of the patients who completed the spirometry test, 23.9% showed evidence of COPD (77.8% in moderate or severe stages). TIMER was associated with a significant reduction in tobacco use at week 12 and in the long term, 21.9% of patients reduced consumption and 14.6% at least halved it. At week 48, six patients (7.3%) allocated to the experimental group achieved the seven-day smoking abstinence confirmed by CO (primary outcome in terms of efficacy), compared to three (3.8%) in the control group. Conclusion In this clinical pilot trial, one in four outpatients with an SMI who smoked had undiagnosed COPD. An intensive intervention tool favors the early detection of COPD and maintains its efficacy to quit smoking, compared with the standard 5 A’s intervention.

Abstract
Schizophrenia patients have increased mortality and morbidity, mainly due to premature cardiovascular disease resulting from decreased physical activity (PA). However, which PA intensity is impaired in the patients and how factors such as social function and quality of life (QoL) are related to decreased PA is unknown. To assess PA, social function and QoL, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Social Functioning Scale (SFS) and Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (SQLS), respectively, were used in 109 schizophrenia patients and 69 healthy subjects. A meta-analysis comparing PA intensities (vigorous, moderate and light) assessed by the single PA measurement between schizophrenia patients and healthy subjects after including our case-control sample was performed. Furthermore, the effects of social function and QoL on each level of PA intensity were investigated in patients and controls. The meta-analysis in 212 schizophrenia patients and 132 healthy subjects revealed that patients showed lower total PA, particularly vigorous PA, than controls (I2 = 0, Hedges' g = - 0.41, P = 2.80 × 10-4). The decreased total PA was correlated with impaired total SFS scores (β = 0.24, P = 2.86 × 10-3), withdrawal (β = 0.23, P = 3.74 × 10-3) and recreation (β = 0.23, P = 3.49 × 10-3) without significant heterogeneity between patients and controls. In contrast, the decreased total PA was affected by low independence-performance (β = 0.22, P = 0.034), employment/occupation (β = 0.27, P = 8.74 × 10-3), psychosocial (β = - 0.24, P = 0.021) and motivation/energy (β = - 0.26, P = 0.013), but only in patients. Similar findings were obtained for vigorous PA but not moderate or light PA. Our findings suggest that the impaired vigorous PA in schizophrenia patients may be mediated by schizophrenia-specific factors of social functioning and QoL. Understanding these factors has important implications for increasing PA participation in schizophrenia patients.

Abstract
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) can cause right heart failure. A concomitant psychiatric disorder (PD) is thought to increase the risk of acute pulmonary thromboembolism; however, whether PDs are associated with deterioration in CTEPH pathophysiology is unclear. In this study, we evaluated the clinical characteristics and prognoses in patients with CTEPH and a co-existing PD. We retrospectively identified 229 consecutive patients (mean age = 58.7 ± 12.5 years; 160 women) with CTEPH and categorized them according to whether they had a PD (PD group; n = 22, 9.7%) or not (non-PD group; n = 207, 90.3%). We compared the clinical characteristics, respiratory function, hemodynamics, and clinical courses in the two groups. Those in the PD group had significantly lower exercise tolerance compared to the non-PD group (6-min walk test, 309.5 ± 89.5 m vs. 369.4 ± 97.9 m, P = 0.008, percent vital capacity 85.5% ± 17.3% vs. 96.0% ± 15.5%, P = 0.003) and partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) (54.4 ± 8.6 mmHg vs. 59.3 ± 10.7 mmHg, P = 0.039). Three-year survival was significantly poorer in the PD group compared to the non-PD group (66.1% vs 89.7%, P = 0.0026, log-rank test), particularly in patients who underwent surgery (62.2% vs 89.5%, P < 0.001, log-rank test). A concomitant PD was associated with low exercise tolerance and impaired respiratory function in patients with CTEPH and predicted poor survival, especially in those who underwent a pulmonary endarterectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate clinical factors contributing to the low physical activity (PA) of patients with chronic schizophrenia. METHODS PA was measured in 50 outpatients with chronic schizophrenia using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Psychopathology, psychosocial functioning, and extrapyramidal symptoms were assessed using the 18 item-Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS-18), Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF), and Drug-Induced Extrapyramidal Symptom Scale (DIEPSS), respectively. We examined differences in these clinical variables between "inactive," "minimally active," and "health enhancing physical activity" groups. Linear regression analysis was used to examine the clinical factors explaining low PA levels in patients with schizophrenia. RESULTS Subjects spent an average of 130.18±238.89 min/wk on moderate/vigorous-intensity PA and only 26% of them met the recommended PA guideline of 150 minutes of at least moderate PA per week. The inactive group showed significantly higher BPRS-18 and DIEPSS scores, and a lower GAF score than the other groups. Linear regression analysis showed that DIEPSS scores independently explained the amount of total PA (p=0.001) and time spent being sedentary (p=0.028). CONCLUSION This study provides preliminary evidence that extrapyramidal symptoms could be a major impediment to the PA of patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract
A sedentary lifestyle is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Little is known however about sedentary behavior in people with bipolar disorder (BD). The primary aim of this study was to explore associations between sitting time (as a proxy for a sedentary lifestyle) and physical fitness and metabolic parameters in BD. A secondary aim was to investigate associations between psychiatric symptoms, psychotropic medication use and sitting time. Thirty-nine (21♀) participants (43.7±12.4 years) completed a full metabolic screening, the sitting time item of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology self-report and the Hypomania Checklist-32. Additionally participants performed the Eurofit-test battery and 6-min walk test. The mean time spent sitting per day for the entire sample was 7.0±3.0h. A higher body mass index, worse physical fitness and higher antipsychotic medication dose were identified as independent predictors of higher levels of sitting behavior. The model explained 76.5% of the variability in the sitting time. Given that a sedentary lifestyle is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease, future interventions specifically targeting time spend sitting are warranted in BD, with a particular emphasis on those with high body mass index and low fitness levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a health hazard since it is associated with neurocognitive dysfunction and cardio-metabolic diseases. The prevalence of OSA among people with serious mental illness (SMI) is unclear. METHOD We searched major electronic databases from inception till 06/2015. Articles were included that reported the prevalence of OSA determined by polysomnography (PSG) or an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) >5 events/hr, in people with major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BD) or schizophrenia. A random effects meta-analysis calculating the pooled prevalence of OSA and meta-regression of potential moderators were performed. RESULTS Twelve articles were included representing 570,121 participants with SMI (mean age=38.3 years (SD=7.5)), 45.8% male (range=32-80.4) and mean body mass index (BMI) 25.9 (SD=3.7). The prevalence of OSA in SMI in clinical studies was 25.7% (95% CI 13.9 to 42.4%, n=1,535). Higher frequencies of OSA were seen in MDD (36.3%, 19.4-57.4%, n=525) than in BD (24.5%, 95% CI 10.6-47.1, n=681) and schizophrenia (15.4%, 95% CI 5.3-37.1%, n=329). The prevalence of OSA in 568,586 people with SMI from population cohort studies was 10.7% (95% CI 2.4-37.0%) and 19.8% (95% CI 2.5-70.0%) in 358,853 people with MDD. Increasing age (β=0.063, 95% CI 0.0005-0.126, p=0.04, N=10) and BMI predicted increased prevalence of OSA (β=0.1642, 95% CI 0.004-0.3701, p=0.04, N=9). CONCLUSION People with SMI (particularly MDD) have a high prevalence of OSA. Screening for and interventions to manage OSA in SMI including those focused on reducing BMI are warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Schizophrenia is a severe, debilitating mental disorder that affects both the physical health and the functional capacity of patients, causing great impairment throughout the life course. Although physical and cognitive impairments may represent different expressions of a single systemic inflammatory process, little is known about the relationship between motor function and schizophrenia. OBJECTIVE To evaluate physical functional capacity in patients with schizophrenia and ascertain whether it correlates with markers of inflammation, disease severity, and pharmacotherapy. METHODS Cross-sectional study using a convenience sampling strategy. Forty patients with stable schizophrenia, undergoing treatment, were recruited from the Outpatient Program of Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, University Hospital linked to Public Health System. Physical functional capacity was assessed by the 6-min walk test (6MWT), and inflammatory markers were measured by C-reactive protein (CRP) and Von Willebrand factor. RESULTS Mean functional capacity and clinical variables differed among patients and Brazilian population regarding heart rate (p = 0.004), diastolic (p = 0.001) and systolic (p < 0.001) blood pressure, respiratory rate (p < 0.001), CRP (p = 0.015), Borg Scale of Perceived Exertion scores (BSPE) (p < 0.001), and 6MWT both in men (p < 0.001) and women (p = 0.024). Additionally, 6MWT and dyspnea in BSPE were positively associated with CRP (r = -0.369, p = 0.019) and (r = -0.376, p = 0.017) and (r = 0.354, p = 0.025 and r = 0.535, p < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION The present study detected significant association between measures of functional impairment and markers of inflammation, especially elevated CRP in a group of stable outpatients with DSM-IV and ICD10 diagnosis of schizophrenia. Possible explanations for the associations could be linked to continued use of antipsychotics, although underlying neuroinflammatory mechanisms directly related to illness (schizophrenia) could not be ruled out. The findings of this study expand evidences of neuroinflammation to systemic inflammation in schizophrenia linking it to alterations of physical functional capacity and point to the need of additional studies exploring general inflammation and novel therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is little information on lung function and respiratory diseases in people with psychosis. AIMS To compare the respiratory health of people with psychosis with that of the general population. METHOD In a nationally representative sample of 8028 adult Finns, lung function was measured by spirometry. Information on respiratory diseases and symptoms was collected. Smoking was quantified with serum cotinine levels. Psychotic disorders were diagnosed utilising the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID-I) and medical records. RESULTS Participants with schizophrenia and other non-affective psychoses had significantly lower lung function values compared with the general population, and the association remained significant for schizophrenia after adjustment for smoking and other potential confounders. Schizophrenia was associated with increased odds of pneumonia (odds ratio (OR) = 4.9), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, OR = 4.2) and chronic bronchitis (OR = 3.8); and with high cotinine levels. CONCLUSIONS Schizophrenia is associated with impaired lung function and increased risk for pneumonia, COPD and chronic bronchitis.

Abstract
The primary aim was to determine whether the presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) limits aerobic fitness in patients with schizophrenia. A secondary aim was to investigate the associations between aerobic fitness and MetS parameters. Aerobic fitness (expressed as predicted maximal oxygen uptake) was assessed using the Astrand-Rhyming test. Those with MetS (n = 19) were similar in age, sex, antipsychotic medication use, symptoms, and smoking behavior than those without (n = 31). Estimated maximal oxygen uptake was 21.4% lower (p = 0.001) in patients with MetS than in patients without MetS (29.5 ± 7.4 ml of O2/min/kg vs. 37.5 ± 8.2 ml of O2/min/kg, respectively). The estimated maximal oxygen uptake of the entire sample was correlated with waist circumference, the level of high-density lipoproteins, and fasting glucose. The current study demonstrates that the additive burden of MetS might place people with schizophrenia at increased risk for functional limitations in daily life activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with psychiatric illness have increased somatic morbidity and increased mortality. Knowledge of how to integrate the prevention and care of somatic illness into the treatment of psychiatric patients is required. The aims of this study were to investigate whether an intervention programme to improve physical health is effective. METHODS An extension of the European Network for Promoting the Health of Residents in Psychiatric and Social Care Institutions (HELPS) project further developed as a 12-month controlled cluster-randomized intervention study in the Danish centre. Waist circumference was a proxy of unhealthy body fat in view of the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. RESULTS Waist circumference was 108 cm for men and 108 cm for women. Controlled for cluster randomization, sex, age, and body fat, the intervention group showed a small, but not significant, reduction in waist circumference, while participants in the control group showed a significant increase in waist circumference. CONCLUSIONS The intervention had a positive effect on the physical health of the patients measured by a reduction in the increase of waist circumference.
