Summary: The prevalence of frailty is higher in individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) than in the general population. Frailty measures such as frailty index, physical frailty phenotype (PFP), and Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) can help identify those who may benefit from targeted interventions.

Summary: This paper systematically reviewed the literature on violence perpetration by adults with severe mental illness towards their relatives, aiming to identify the types and rates of violence and understand its reported impacts. The findings revealed that relatives experienced different types of violence, with mothers being the most likely victims. The impacts on relatives included mental health problems and the breakdown of family relationships, although many relatives still continued to support the patients.

Summary: The study aimed to develop and internally validate a T2DM prevalence model for people with severe mental illness (SMI). Logistic regression and XGBoost models performed well in detecting T2DM presence in SMI patients. Age and ethnicity were the most important predictors. The predicted 2.14% increase in T2DM prevalence in the East London SMI population in 20 years indicates the impact of projected demographic changes.

Summary: Caring for a relative with a severe mental disorder increases the risk of depression for family caregivers. Different dimensions of caregiving burden have varying impacts on depressive symptoms, with negative emotion/consequences, (lack of) positive personal experience, and stigma/effects on family being the most connected to depression.

Summary: This study is the first to examine the mental health literacy (MHL) of UK athletics coaches. It combines quantitative and qualitative analysis to explore coaches' knowledge, training experience, and willingness to support athletes' mental health. The results show variations in MHL among coaches and a lack of consensus on what constitutes mental health and illness. Most coaches are willing to support athlete mental health but lack the necessary training and understanding. Thus, there is a need for mandatory athletics-specific mental health training and multi-level approaches to better support mental health in sports and society.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the risk of readmission in patients with severe mental disorders and found that the use of atypical antipsychotics and adherence to treatment were associated with a lower risk of psychiatric readmissions. Males accounted for 51.5% of the cohort, most patients did not have a partner, and a majority did not complete elementary school.

Summary: People with severe mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression, have a higher burden of cardiovascular risks and mortality rates than the general population. There is evidence suggesting shared etiological factors between severe mental illness and cardiovascular disease. This review explores the relationship between the two, proposes strategies to improve cardiovascular health in individuals with severe mental illness, and identifies areas for future research.
