INTRODUCTION

Patientswithaseverementalillness(SMI),mostlyschizophrenia,otherpsychoticdisorders,majordepressionorbipolardisorder,havealmost twice thenormal riskofprematuredeathfromcardiovasculardisease1,aremorelikelytosufferfromthemetabolicsyndrome(MS)2,andhaveanup to30years shortened lifeexpectancycompared to thegeneralpopulation3.Theincreasedmortalityriskisassociatedwithsideeffectsofantipsychoticmedicationaswellasunhealthybutmodifiablelifestylebehaviors4. LifestyleinterventionsinSMIpatientshavepreviouslybeenshowntoreducebodyweight5 andwaist circumference, and to improve cardiometabolic risk factors such asserum triglyceride levels, fasting glucose and insulin concentrations6,7. These studiesincludedmostlyoutpatients8,9orfirstepisodepatientswith schizophrenia10,11,whereasstudies in SMI patients admitted to sheltered or clinical care facilities are scarce. Inaddition,sustainabilityofeffectsisquestionable.

METHODS

TheELIPSstudyprotocolwaspublished18andwillbeshortlyexplainedbelow.TheMedicalEthical Committee for Research inMental Health Care (Metigg) concluded that studyprotocolanduseofanonymizeddatafromRoutineOutcomeMonitoring(ROM;below)was inaccordancewiththeDeclarationofHelsinkiand(inter)national regulations,andthat the study did not fall under the scope of theMedical Research InvolvingHumanSubjectsAct,therebywaivinginformedconsent.ThetrialwasregisteredintheDutchTrialRegistry(NTR2720,www.trialregister.nl).

InterventionThe ELIPS intervention was directed at nursing teams and addressed the obesogenicenvironment of patients; see ELIPS study protocol18 for examples from practice. Theintervention consistedof a preparation, implementationandmonitoringphase. In theone-month preparation phase, lifestyle coaches introduced themselves to staff andpatients, screened the environment and teams’ daily routines, and listed patients’and teams’ preferences and sites’ logistic possibilities. Lifestyle coaches created ateam-tailored lifestyle plan based on listed preferences and possibilities and four pre-establishedELIPSlifestylegoals:(a)tostimulatephysicalactivity;(b)toincreasesupply/availabilityofhealthyfoodproducts;(c)toorganizeatleastoneactivityperweekfocusedonahealthydietand(d)toimprovetheobesogenicenvironmentonorganizationallevel.Inthe3-monthsimplementationphase,lifestylecoachesimplementedtheplannedELIPSlifestyleactivitiesasdescribed intheteam-tailored lifestyleplan.Lifestylecoachesfirstdemonstrated activities to staff, then carriedout the activities togetherwith staffandfinally supervised staff while they carried out the activities.

For comparabilitywith lifestyle intervention studies including SMIpatientswith aBMI ≥25kg/m28,weperformedsensitivityanalysesinthissubgroup.Findingsremainthesame:WCwasreducedwith1.79cm(-3.50;-0.08)atthreemonthsandatrendforreducedWCof1.59cm(-3.34;0.16)wasfoundattwelvemonths.MSZ-scoresdecreasedwith0.20s.d.(-0.40;-0.01)afterthreemonths.Again,nointerventioneffectsonBMIwerefound.

DISCUSSION

Main findingsThislarge,multi-site,randomizedcontrolledtrialshowedthatchangingtheobesogenicenvironment of SMI residential patients into a healthier environment significantlyreduced waist circumference and degree of metabolic syndrome after three monthsinterventioncomparedtocareasusual.Themagnitudeoftheseeffectsdecreasedwhen,afterthreemonths,stafftookoverthelifestyleactivities.Thisshowsthatimprovingtheobesogenicenvironmentcanevokebeneficialchangeswithouttargetingpatientsdirectly,butsustainabilityremainsachallenge. An innovative feature of the ELIPS intervention is the focus on the obesogenicenvironment as opposed to directly and solely targeting patients’ dietary and/orsedentarybehaviors13.Moreover,structuralchangesintheenvironmentwillaffecteverypatient,irrespectiveoftheirpersonalinterestinimprovingtheirlifestyles.Changingtheenvironmentusingasmallchangeapproachindeedresultedinasmallimprovement:1.5cminWCoverthreemonths.Ifthiscanbesustainedoveralongerperiodoftime,itwillhoweverleadtoclinicallyrelevantimprovementsinadiposityandtherebyreducingriskof cardiovasculardiseaseanddiabetes28,29. Earlier studies found that foreveryfive cmincreaseinWCtheriskofdeathincreasedwith13%forfemalesand17%formales30.

Comparison to previous studiesTwoearlierRCTsfocusedonresidentialpatients, targetingbothpatientsandstaffwitha 12-month lifestyle intervention with structural guidance of external coaches31,32.Forsbergandcolleaguesdidnotfind improvements inWCorglucose levels31.Thiswashowever a small study (n = 41). Hjorth and colleagues showed a reduction of 3.1 cminWC and stabilized fasting glucose levels versus increased glucose levels in controls,whichiscomparabletoourfindingofreductionsinWCandfastingglucoseZ-score.Theimprovement in glucose metabolism is consistent with studies showing that lifestyleinterventionsareeffectiveatpreventingtype2diabetesinthegeneralpopulation33.Thebeneficial effect on fasting glucose suggests that lifestyle improvements, possibly viaincreasedphysicalactivity,improveinsulinresistance34,35.Changesinphysicalactivitymayresultinchangesinbodycompositionwithreducedfatnessandincreasedmusclemass32,whichmayexplainthesignificanteffectsonWCbutnotBMI(Figure 2).Ameta-analysisoflifestyleinterventionsforSMIin-andoutpatientsconfirmedourresultsonWC(Cohen’s

Possible factors influencing intervention implementation and sustainabilityChangesinwaistcircumferencevariedwidelybetweenteams(Figure 2).Thisismostlikelyrelatedtotheeasewithwhichteams implementedandsustainednew lifestylehabits.Structuralaspectsplayedarole,likeenvironmentalfeaturesofthefacility(e.g.physicalactivityopportunitiesinurbanvsruralsetting37),availablebudget(e.g.forhealthyfoodproducts) and availability of staff members (e.g. nurses being scheduled to organizeactivities).Furthermore, logisticchanges(e.g.alteringthetypeofbreadofferedduringlunch)werepossiblymoreeasilyimplementedthanculturalchanges(e.g.offeringwalk-and-talk therapy38insteadofsittinginthecounselingoffice).Perhapsofmoreinfluencewereattitudesofstaff:nursesdifferedintheirexperienceofconflictingpriorities(e.g.ahighworkload),conflictswithroledefinitions(e.g.nursesarenotdieticiansorphysicaltherapists)andconflictswithownhealthbehaviors (e.g.givingagoodexamplebynotorderingpizzaduringnightshifts)39,40. Thepragmaticcharacterof theELIPS trialallowedthe interventiontobe tailoredtotheresourcesofthefacility.Moreover,regularstaffimplementedtheinterventionineverydaypracticeafterthreemonthsoflifestylecoaching,givingaclearindicationofwhatisattainablein‘real-world’settings.Thedesignofthestudy,consistingofanimplementationand amonitoring (support) phase, demonstrated the difficulty of sustaining achievedimprovements.Despite involvementofregularstaffinorganizing lifestyleactivitiesandembeddinglifestyleactivitiesinteams’workingroutine,themagnitudeofeffectsachievedatthreemonthsdecreasedintheninemonthsthereafter,whenstaffmemberswerelessfrequentlyguidedbylifestylecoaches.Thisisinlinewithfindingsfromameta-analysisof lifestyle interventionsbyBradshawet.al.40andthestudyofDaumitandcolleagues8 whereinitialsignificanteffectsonWCwerenolongersignificantwhenthefrequencyofsessionsdecreasedandtrainedstaffmemberstookovermostoftheactivitiesoflifestylecoaches.So,improvementsinWCandglucoselevelsarewithinreach,butsustainabilitymightbeachievedonlywhenstaffmembersareguidedonaregularbasisbyalifestylecoachwhoseprimaryresponsibilityistopromotethepatients’lifestyle.Thefrequencyoftheseguidingcontactsneededtosustainormaximizeresultsinthelong-term,shouldbeexplored,butlikelyneedstoexceedtwovisitsinninemonths.

IMPLICATIONS

A small change approach focusing on the obesogenic environment of patients livingin shelteredor long-termcare facilitieshas thepotential toproduceclinically relevantreductions in adiposity and thereby reduce cardiometabolic risk. However, our smallresultsindicatethatchangingtheobesogenicenvironmentaloneisnotenough.Itshouldbeconsideredaprerequisiteforimprovingpatients’health13andbepartofanintegratedapproachofmultiple targets, including sensiblepharmaceutical strategies.Anext stepwouldbe todevelopascalable (nursing-)programformaintenanceofhealthychangesandinitiativesinthefacilities,thatiseffective,affordableandsustainableinthelongterm.
