FitforLife
The aim of the project is to investigate whether, and if so, to what extent regular physical exercise affects the ability to function (cognitively, physically, socially) and the metabolic and inflammatory risk factors in people affected by psychosis. Currently, patients are being recruited at clinics in the Regions of Stockholm, Skåne and Halland.
The project is led by Professor Yvonne Forsell, at the Department of Global Public Health at KI, but we are investigating the molecular factors.
