“…These findings are consistent with previous studies showing that blood-based biomarkers of inflammation and insulin resistance are related to positive affect/happiness (Matsunaga et al, 2011;Steptoe et al, 2008), well-being (Boehm & Kubzansky, 2012;Osama & Shehab Ael, 2015;Phillips & Perry, 2015;Steptoe et al, 2012), optimism (Ikeda et al, 2011;Roy et al, 2010), psychological resilience or 'hardiness' (Fields, Hoyt, Linnville, & Moore, 2015;Sandvik et al, 2013), and perceived stress (Aschbacher et al, 2013;BarbosaÀLeiker et al, 2014;Shimanoe et al, 2014). Although longitudinal research is needed, our findings suggest the possibility that resilience, optimism, happiness, and low perceived stress might serve as protective factors against insulin resistance and inflammation and their associated negative health outcomes in both schizophrenia and HCs.…”

“…insulin resistance) have been associated with PPFs. One study found an increase in psychological well-being and a decrease in homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) following weight loss in obese patients with type-2 diabetes (Osama & Shehab Ael, 2015). Similarly, a favorable metabolic profile was positively associated with mental health and wellbeing in middle-aged obese individuals (Phillips & Perry, 2015).…”

“…physical comorbidity, cardiovascular disease risk). We examined biomarkers of insulin resistance and inflammation due to their relevance to the health of persons with schizophrenia (Azad et al, 2016;Ringen et al, 2014;Ward & Druss, 2015), and because these two types of biomarkers have been found to be associated with positive psychological well-being and positive affect in other populations (Osama & Shehab Ael, 2015;Phillips & Perry, 2015;Steptoe et al, 2012;Steptoe et al, 2008). We hypothesized that the schizophrenia group would have lower mean levels of resilience, optimism, and happiness, and higher levels of perceived stress, relative to the HC group.…”

Positive mental health in schizophrenia and healthy comparison groups: relationships with overall health and biomarkers. Objective: Positive psychological factors (PPFs) have been reported to have a significant impact on health in the general population. However, little is known about the relationship of these factors with mental and physical health in schizophrenia. Method: One hundred and thirty-five outpatients with schizophrenia and 127 healthy comparison subjects (HCs), aged 26-65 years, were evaluated with scales of resilience, optimism, happiness, and perceived stress. Measures of mental and physical health were also obtained. Regression analyses examined associations of a PPF composite with health variables. Results: Relative to the HCs, the schizophrenia group had lower levels of PPFs. However, there was considerable heterogeneity, with over one-third of schizophrenia participants having values within the 'normative' range. The PPF composite was positively related to mental and physical health variables and with biomarkers of inflammation and insulin resistance. The relationship between PPFs and mental health was particularly strong for individuals with schizophrenia. Conclusion: A sizable minority of adults with chronic schizophrenia have levels of resilience, optimism, happiness, and perceived stress similar to HCs. Psychosocial interventions to enhance PPFs should be tested in patients with serious mental illnesses, with the goal of improving their mental health (beyond controlling symptoms of psychosis) and their physical health.

“…Scientific reports confirm psychological benefits arising from endurance training in persons with excessive body weight. They concern, inter alia, lowering depression, improved mood and overall self-esteem [26]. Similar effects can also be brought by less intense Pilates training [27] or yoga [28].…”

Background: We have conducted a prospective randomised trial to check whether a specific type of regular physical training done by women with obesity is related to obtaining specific psychological benefits. Methods: Participants were patients of outpatient clinic suffering from obesity. Finally, 44 women were qualified for the study and divided into two groups: A (n=22) and B (n=22). The applied intervention consisted of regular 3-month physical exercises in the form of endurance training (group A) or endurance-strength training (group B). Initially and after the completed intervention, anthropometric measurements were carried out in each group (height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference), BMI and WHR were calculated, the level of psychological parameters was examined: stress (PSS-10), general self-esteem (SES), body self-report (BSQ–34, FRS), behaviours associated with diet (TFEQ-18). Results: At baseline, groups did not differ in age (A: M=51.3, SD=8.3 yrs.; B: M=48.2, SD=11.2 yrs.) and BMI (A: M=35.2, SD=3.9 kg/m2; B:M=34.9, SD=3.8 kg/m2). As a result of the intervention, both groups had significantly lower anthropometric parameters and FRS decreased significantly with regard to the current figure (gr. A: p<0.001; gr. B: p=0.01) and BSQ-34 result (gr. A: p=0.001; gr. B: p=0.01). Additionally, group B had lower results in TFEQ-18 in terms of cognitive restraint (p=0.01) and emotional eating (p=0.01). There were no differences between group A and B in terms of the magnitude of changes achieved due to the intervention, except from significant improvement (p=0.03) in group A in terms of perception of the current figure (FRS). Conclusions: Three-months long regular physical activity of women with obesity promotes the perception of own body as slimmer and lower body shape concerns. Endurance-strength training enhances cognitive and emotional control in the field of nutrition, it also seems more beneficial in reducing stress levels. In turn, the change in body shape is more noticed under the influence of endurance training.
