ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Psychopharmacology brought numerous benefits to people with mental disorders, although undesirable side effects have arisen, including weight gain.

Objective:

Identify the overweight frequency in individuals with mental disorders and its relation with the use of psychiatric drugs. Material and

methods:

Cross-sectional study with patients with mental disorders of both sexes, older than 18 years. Body Mass Index (BMI) used to diagnose overweight (BMI > 25 kg/m2 ). Chi-square test of Pearson (c²) and Poisson regression were used for analytical statistics for association between variables.

Results:

The study involved 109 individuals. Overweight was found in 70.7% of the study population, 29.4% presented pre-obesity, 26.6% were obese class I, 8.3%, obese class II, and 6.4% obese grade III (morbid). The overweight prevalence was signifi cantly higher among patients who used selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants (PR = 1,42, 95% CI 1,12 to 1,80, p = 0,004), typical antipsychotics (PR = 1,43, 95% CI 1,13 to 1,80, p = 0,003), atypical antipsychotics (PR = 1,24, 95% CI 1,01 to 1,54, p = 0,045) and benzodiazepines (PR = 1,37, 95% CI 1,10 to 1,71, p = 0,004) when compared to those who used tricycle antidepressants (PR = 1,20, 95% CI 0,93 to 1,54, p = 0,153) and mood stabilizers (PR = 1,09, 95% IC 0,88 to 1,35, p = 0,416).

Conclusion:

High prevalence of overweight significantly higher among patients who used selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants, typical and atypical antipsychotics and benzodiazepines (AU)
RESUMEN

Introducción:

la psicofarmacología ha traído numerosos beneficios para las personas con trastornos mentales, aunque hayan surgido efectos colaterales indeseables, entre ellos, el aumento de peso.

Objetivo:

identificar la frecuencia de exceso de peso en individuos con trastornos mentales y su relación con el uso de psicofármacos. Material y

métodos:

estudio transversal en enfermos mentales, de ambos sexos, mayores de 18 años. El índice de masa corporal (IMC) utilizado para diagnosticar el exceso de peso (IMC > 25 kg/m2). Estadística analítica para asociación entre las variables se utilizó test chi-cuadrado de Pearson (c²) y regresión de Poisson.

Resultados:

participaron del estudio 109 individuos. Se encontró exceso de peso en el 70,7% de la población investigada, 29,4% presentaron sobrepeso, 26,6% obesidad de grado I, 8,3% obesidad de grado II e 6,4% obesidad de grado III (mórbida). La prevalencia de exceso de peso fue signifi cativamente mayor entre los pacientes que usaron antidepresivos inhibidores selectivos de la recaptación de serotonina (RP = 1,42, IC al 95% 1,12-1,80, p = 0,004), los antipsicóticos típicos (RP = 1,43, IC al 95% 1,13-1,80, p = 0,003), los antipsicóticos atípicos (RP = 1,24 , IC al 95% 1,1-1,54, p = 0,045) y benzodiacepinas (PR = 1,37, IC al 95% 1,10-1,71, p = 0,004) en comparación con aquellos que utilizaron los antidepresivos triciclos (RP = 1,20, IC al 95% 0,93-1,54; p = 0,153) y estabilizadores del humor (RP = 1,09, IC del 95 % 0,88 a 1,35; p = 0,416).

Conclusión:

elevada prevalencia de exceso de peso, signifi ativamente mayor entre los pacientes que usaron antidepresivos inhibidores selectivos de la receptación de serotonina, antipsicóticos típicos y atípicos e benzodiacepínicos (AU)
