Mortality rates are approximately two to three times higher in people with bipolar disorder (BD) than in general population. Lack of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease and premature mortality.

We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate PA and SB levels and its predictors in BD.

Major electronic databases were searched from inception till 02/2016 for articles measuring PA and SB with a self-report questionnaire (SRQ) or objective measure (e.g. accelerometer) in BD. A random effects meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis were conducted.

Six studies were eligible including 279 (129♂) people with BD (mean age=43.9 years; range: 32.0–51.5 years). The trim and fill analysis demonstrated people with BD spent in total 210.1 min (95%CI=146.3–273.9 min) per day being physically active and 613.3 min (95 …
