Official title:
Exploring the Effect of Baduanjin on the Metabolic Parameters and Body Mass Index of People With Schizophrenia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Baduanjin seems to be effective for improving body mass index and fasting sugar in male individuals with schizophrenia.

Aim This study was to explore the effect of Baduanjin on the five metabolic parameters and body mass index in participants with chronic schizophrenia.

Methods We recruited 92 participants from 3 chronic wards and nursing homes in eastern and northern Taiwan. Participants were assigned by blocked randomization into experimental group and control group. Those in the experimental group received 60 minutes, three times a week for 12 weeks of Baduanjin program training, while those in the control group received physical activity for thirty minutes. We collected the blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, triglyceride, high density cholesterol, waist circumference, and body mass index three times: before the intervention, end of the intervention immediately and 3-month follow up. Chi-squared and independent samples t test were used to compare the groups differences in the demographic characteristics and outcome indicators at the baseline for male and female separately. Demographic variables were controlled. Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) were used to examine the effects of groups, time, group and time interaction by sex.
