There is ample evidence in literature and in local audits that obesity is a serious issue in a significant number of service users in Secure Mental Health Services. Obesity adversely affects both, mental health and physical health outcomes. It also is a risk factor for a variety of cardio metabolic problems, chronic musculo
- skeletal problems, and cancers. It is well established that the average life span for service users with enduring mental disorders is around 20 years less than the general population and therefore preventing weight gain in this population is vital to extend life expectancy and improve quality of life.
