“…In a study investigating the effects of a 24-week lifestyle training by gender in people with schizophrenia, there were significant differences in body weight, BMI, body fat percentage, and weight loss strategies in both genders (Ito et al, 2021). On the contrary, Christensen et al (2022) showed that women were more interested in habit formation in healthy living behaviors, including diet and exercise, compared with men. Contrary to these findings, there was no gender difference in the effectiveness of HNWP on study variables as both genders were benefited similarly.…”

This study investigated the effectiveness of an occupation-based Healthy Nutrition and Wellness Program (HNWP) on dietary knowledge, dietary habits, metabolic values, and well-being of people with schizophrenia. Forty clients attended the HNWP once a week for 12 weeks in addition to routine treatment. Metabolic values, biochemical values, dietary habits, Healthy Nutrition Knowledge Form, and Well-being Questionnaire were measured before the HNWP, after the HNWP, and at 6-month follow-up. Repeated measures factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare each continuous variable and Cochran’s Q test was used to compare categorical variables before HNWP, after HNWP, and at follow-up. Findings showed that HNWP increased the healthy nutrition knowledge, improved some dietary habits, increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and promoted general well-being of the individuals with schizophrenia. There was no gender difference in all variables. Inclusion of occupation-based HNWPs into treatment of individuals with schizophrenia can increase awareness about healthy life and improve their dietary habits and well-being.
