Abstract: Executive SummaryThe poor physical health of people with mental illness is a multi-faceted, transdiagnostic, and global problem. Physical health disparities are observed across the entire spectrum of mental illnesses, in low, middle-and high-income countries. This stems from both a heightened risk of physical diseases in people with mental illness, along with their reduced access to adequate healthcare. The high rates of physical comorbidities (and typically-poor clinical management of this) drastically reduce… Show more

“…Health promotion lifestyle interventions have been successful in reducing the cardiometabolic risk factors of people with SMI (Fernández‐San‐Martín et al ). Lifestyle interventions are now recognized as first‐line treatment for both treating and protecting living with a mental illness and endorsed by WHO (Firth et al ; WHO ). Recent large randomized controlled trials have utilized group‐based lifestyle interventions to improve dietary intake and increase physical activity (Bartels ; Daumit et al ; Green et al ), with the addition of health coaching support in two of these studies (Bartels ; Daumit et al ).…”

“…When exploring correlates of the 2MWT, we did observe that the variability in SIMPAQ walking and SIMPAQ incidental physical activity remained significantly associated with the variability in the 2MWT in the final backward regression model. Existing research has already established that people with depression are less physically active than matched controls from the general population (F. Schuch et al, ; Vancampfort, Firth, et al, ) and that physical inactivity and poor physical fitness are associated with mental and physical comorbidities in people with mental illness (Firth et al, ). Our previous research has demonstrated this also applies to people with depression in Uganda (Vancampfort, Van Damme, et al, ).…”

“…The poor physical health of people with mental illness is increasingly being recognised as a critical area of health inequality across modern‐day society . This is perhaps best characterised by the severely reduced life expectancy observed among these populations because people with mental health conditions (across a broad spectrum of diagnoses) die 10–30 years younger than the general population, primarily as a result of physical health causes (as opposed to mental health causes) .…”

“…The 2019 World Congress of Psychiatry saw the official launch of the report from the Lancet Psychiatry Commission on ‘protecting physical health in people with mental illness’ . The commission incorporated 42 international expert researchers and clinicians from a range of relevant professions, collaborating together to better define this growing problem, as well as to present new opportunities for addressing the health disparities facing people with mental illness when continuing to provide appropriate mental health recovery.…”
