“…En este sentido, Clark (2007) ha sugerido que la comorbilidad entre trastornos de los ejes I y II, y entre rasgos de personalidad con ambos ejes, podría deberse a que la personalidad y la psicopatología comparten raíces comunes de temperamento básico, en este caso disfuncional. Sin embargo, pese a los esfuerzos realizados para esclarecer la naturaleza de estas relaciones desde hace años (p.ej., Casullo y Castro, 2002;Kraepelin, 1921;Kretschmer, 1936;Orejudo, Camacho, y Vega-Michel, 2012;Ortiz-Tallo, Cardenal, Ferragut y Cerezo, 2011), no contamos con datos concluy entes. Esto se debe, en parte, a las inconsistencias entre estudios en relación con algunos de los dominios o dimensiones de personalidad relevantes.…”

“…It has been reported that during the time of Hippocrates, even he observed type-differentiating in people. Kretschmer's research (Kretschmer, 1926(Kretschmer, , 1955, then Conrad's (1963) are considered to be the beginnings of more contemporary definition of morphological types. They based their findings on the etiology of the formation of a constitutional type.…”

SUMMARY:It is well known that the most evident differences in humans are those related to anthropometric characteristics, and that during continuous monitoring the relation between human behavior and human abilities concerning their anthropometric characteristics was observed. The aim of this study was to detect and define the morphological types with the use of slightly different and more advanced methodologies. The sample included 149 male subjects, first-year students of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education in Novi Sad, using an anthropometric measurement technique. A total of 12 anthropometric measures, defined according to the fourdimensional morphological model was used. For all variables, basic descriptive statistics were calculated while student grouping was performed using taxonomic neural network -Intruder. Initial taxonomic classification of artificial entities by neural network Intruder accepted four clusters: endomorph or pyknic, ectomorph or leptosomic, astenomorph and gracile type. The results indicate that the identification and definition of morphological types with the use of a slightly different and more advanced procedure leads to better and earlier perception of certain characteristics which are necessary, both for the selection of specific sports, and in the prevention of various diseases and abnormalities in behavior and functioning.

“…Historically, schizophrenia, the diagnostic term for a severe, but treatable, brain disorder that affects 1% of the world's population and is characterized by hallucinations, delusions, disordered thinking, apathy, and cognitive deterioration, has always been linked to an asthenic (slender) body build (1). As a recent example, in a population-based cohort study of men born in Sweden between 1952 and 1982, those who subsequently developed schizophrenia had an initially lower body mass index than their peers.…”

Obesity in Schizophrenia

Over the last three decades, an epidemic of obesity has markedly affected patients suffering from mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. Antipsychotic medications used to treat schizophrenia are considered as major culprits. The aim of this review is to first consider risk factors, to then outline negative sequelae of obesity for this population, and finally to address timing and content of recommended clinical interventions.Medical databases were searched with the terms ""weight," "obesity," and "schizophrenia." Selection of articles was guided by date of publication; recent papers are preferentially cited. The main findings were that, in addition to antipsychotic medications, socio-economics, lifestyle, immune factors, and circadian rhythms also contribute to obesity risk. A barrier to effective health promotion within psychiatry has been the concern that fears about gaining weight might stop individuals with schizophrenia from taking needed antipsychotic medication. Recommendations, therefore, are to keep the dose of antipsychotic medication as low as possible, avoid polypharmacy, encourage healthy eating and physical activity, address sleep problems and substance use, monitor weight, blood pressure, and metabolic parameters regularly, utilize motivational interviewing techniques and peer support, pay special attention to special needs such as those of women during pregnancy, and include bariatric surgery as a potential intervention. Conclusion: Besides careful attention to medication regimens, the literature supports the active encouragement and support of patient self-management strategies to both prevent and manage obesity in schizophrenia.
