      Background: Schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) are severe mental illnesses (SMI) associated with elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, including obesity. Leptin and adiponectin are secreted by adipose tissue, with pro- and anti-inflammatory properties, respectively. The second generation antipsychotics (AP) olanzapine, clozapine, and quetiapine have been associated with high leptin ...
    • Alcohol consumption and lower risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality: the impact of accounting for familial factors in twins 

      Ystrøm, Eivind; Degerud, Eirik Magnus Meek; Tesli, Martin Steen; Høye, Anne; Reichborn-Kjennerud, Ted; Næss, Øyvind Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-20)
      Background. A moderate to high alcohol consumption is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in comparison with low consumption. The mechanisms underlying this association are not clear and have been suggested to be caused by residual confounding. The main objective of this study was to separate the familial and individual risk for CVD mortality and all-cause mortality ...
    • Atherogenic Lipid Ratios Related to Myeloperoxidase and C-Reactive Protein Levels in Psychotic Disorders

      <p><i>Background:</i> Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of premature death in patients with psychotic disorders, where dyslipidemia occurs frequently. In the pathogenesis of these serious mental disorders, a low-grade inflammation seems to be a possible contributor. Concurrently, systemic inflammation and its interplay with dyslipidemia is a central driver in the pathogenesis of CVD. We ...
    • Educational attainment and mortality in schizophrenia 

      Tesli, Martin Steen; Degerud, Eirik Magnus Meek; Plana-Ripoll, Oleguer; Gustavson, Kristin; Torvik, Fartein Ask; Ystrøm, Eivind; Ask, Helga; Tesli, Natalia; Høye, Anne; Stoltenberg, Camilla; Reichborn-Kjennerud, Ted; Næss, Øyvind Erik; Nesvåg, Ragnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-13)
      Background: Individuals suffering from schizophrenia have a reduced life expectancy with cardiovascular disease (CVD) as a major contributor. Low educational attainment is associated with schizophrenia, as well as with all-cause and CVD mortality. However, it is unknown to what extent low educational attainment can explain the increased mortality in individuals with schizophrenia.<p> <p>Aim: Here, ...

    • Open-door policy versus treatment-as-usual in urban psychiatric inpatient wards: a pragmatic, randomised controlled, non-inferiority trial in Norway 

      Rustad Indregard, Anne Marthe; Nussle, Hans Martin; Småstuen, Milada Cvancarova; Vandvik, Per Olav; Tesli, Martin Steen; Gather, Jakov; Kunøe, Nikolaj (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-06)
      Background - Open-door policy is a recommended framework to reduce coercion in psychiatric wards. However, existing observational data might not fully capture potential increases in harm and use of coercion associated with open-door policies. In this first randomised controlled trial, we compared coercive practices in open-door policy and treatment-as-usual wards in an urban hospital setting. We ...
    • Polygenic risk for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in relation to cardiovascular biomarkers 

      Reponen, Elina Johanna; Ueland, Thor; Rokicki, Jaroslav; Bettella, Francesco; Aas, Monica; Werner, Maren C. F.; Dieset, Ingrid; Steen, Nils E.; Andreassen, Ole A.; Tesli, Martin Steen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-05)
      Individuals with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and a range of biomarkers related to CVD risk have been found to be abnormal in these patients. Common genetic factors are a putative underlying mechanism, alongside lifestyle factors and antipsychotic medication. However, the extent to which the altered CVD biomarkers are related to genetic ...
