Introduction

Weight gain and metabolic disturbances are frequent in people treated with second generation antipsychotics (SGA).

Objectives

We aimed to investigate the effect of SGAs on eating behaviors, cognitions and emotions, as a possible contributor to weight gain and metabolic disturbances.

Methods

A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Original articles measuring outcomes relating to eating cognitions, behaviours and emotions, during treatment with SGAs were included in this review. A total of 92 papers with 11,274 participants were included from three scientific databases (PubMed, Web of Science and PsycInfo). Results were synthesized descriptively except for the continuous data where meta-analyses were performed and for the binary data where odds ratios were calculated.

Results

Hunger was increased in participants treated with SGAs with an odds ratio for appetite increase of 1.51 (95% CI [1.04, 1.97]; z=6.40; p<0.001)(see Figure 1.). Compared to controls, our results showed that craving for fat and carbohydrates are the highest among other craving subscales. There was a small increase in dietary disinhibition (SMD=0.40) and restrained eating (SMD=0.43) in participants treated with SGAs compared to controls and substantial heterogeneity across studies reporting these eating traits (See figure 2 and 3). There were few studies examining other eating-related outcomes such as food addiction, satiety, fullness, caloric intake and dietary quality and habits.

Conclusions

Understanding the mechanisms associated with appetite and eating-related psychopathology changes in patients treated with antipsychotics is needed to reliably inform the development of effective preventative strategies.
