Disputas- master i psykologi Ida Marie Opdal

Prøveforelesning over oppgitt emne starter kl. 0915 samme sted.    

"Recently, we have seen growing interest in the importance of protecting the physical health of people with mental illness in order to address the premature mortality associated with the onset of secondary non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle interventions, including physical activity, exercise and nutrition should be included within treatment. What is the potential for physical activity/exercise interventions in preventing non-communicable diseases in adolescents and young adults with a mental illness?"

“Both development of depression and reduction of physical activity levels can be observed in the adolescent period, but results from research that study the association between the two are not consistent. This thesis investigated the association between physical activity and mental distress among adolescents participating in The Tromsø study: Fit Futures over a two year period, using data on physical activity collected by accelerometers worn on the participants’ hip and self-reported questionnaire data. The studies showed no evidence for an association between the different levels of physical activity measured by the accelerometer and mental distress among the adolescents, but a discrepancy was discovered between the results when using different methods of measurement and an association between mental distress and levels of physical activity through a social factor, low peer acceptance. The results from our studies could potentially have implications for future research”.
