Correspondence between the Simple Physical Activity Questionnaire (Simpaq) and accelerometer-based physical activity in inpatients treated for major depressive disorders in comparison to non-depressed…
Introduction Major depressive disorders (MDD) are a leading health concern worldwide. While first line medication treatments may fall short of desired therapeutic outcomes, physical activity (PA) interventions appear to be a promising and cost-effective add-on to improve symptoms of depression. This study aimed to address challenges in the assessment of PA in inpatients treated for MDD by examining the correspondence of self-reported and accelero…
Cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular risk among in-patients with depression compared to healthy controls
Patients with depression and healthy controls differ in several cardiovascular risk markers, putting patients at increased risk for CVDs. In contrast, people with good CRF show more favourable cardiovascular risk scores, a relationship which was observed in both healthy controls and patients with depression. Physical health of psychiatric patients should receive the clinical attention that it deserves. Lifestyle interventions targeting healthy di…

Psychosocial Health and Physical Activity in People With Major Depression in the Context of Covid-19
Introduction: Major depression is a psychiatric disease associated with physical inactivity, which in turn affects mental and physical health. A randomized controlled trial is being implemented to facilitate physical activity in people with major depression. In March 2020, Swiss state authorities temporarily legislated a lockdown to contain the Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), which influenced health, behavior and research. The aim of this stud…
Excessive Exercise—A Meta-Review
Background and Aims: While a number of studies have reported on individuals who exercise excessively, and feel unable to stop despite negative consequences, there is still insufficient evidence to categorize exercise as an addictive disorder. The aim of this meta-review is to summarize the published articles and to compile a list of symptoms reported in the qualitative literature in conjunction with excessive exercise. This list is compared with …
Epidemiology of pregnancies with unknown last menstrual period
A group of women with unknown last menstrual period was studied representing 16% of a total of 22 404 pregnant women recorded using a common perinatal form. Unknown menstrual period is associated with high rates of low birth weight and with low socioeconomic and sociodemographic status. Such characteristics are also associated with a high rate of preterm deliveries. Thus any possible bias introduced in studies of prematurity by ignoring the group…
The influence of the frequency of nursing and of previous lactation experience on serum prolactin in lactating mothers
Serum prolactin has been measured in single blood samples collected within the first 22 post-partum months from 97 nursing mothers from an urban area (Bukavu) of Zaïre. Nursing mothers are hyperprolactinemic, higher serum prolactin levels being associated with more frequent suckling episodes per day. Furthermore, serum prolactin declines rapidly in mothers who are giving the breast less than four times per day: the levels are within the normal ra…
