AWM: Adults Identifying as Racial/Ethnic Minorities (2020-21)

• Intervention
  In adults with overweight or obesity and who identify as racial or ethnic minorities, what is the effect of weight management interventions provided by an RDN or international equivalent, compared to usual care or no intervention from an RDN, on BMI, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose and blood pressure?

  • Conclusion

    In adults with overweight or obesity and who identify as a racial/ethnic minority, the evidence is limited regarding the effect of weight management interventions provided a dietitian on BMI, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose and blood pressure.

  • Grade: Very Low (D)
    • Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
    • Grade II is Fair;
    • Grade III is Limited/Weak;
    • Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
    • Grade V is Not Assignable.
    • High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
    • Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
    • Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
    • Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
    • Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
  • Evidence Summary: In adults with overweight or obesity and who identify as racial or ethnic minorities, what is the effect of weight management interventions provided by an RDN or international equivalent, compared to usual care or no intervention from an RDN, on BMI, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose and blood pressure?

  In adults with overweight or obesity and who identify as racial or ethnic minorities, what is the effect of weight management interventions provided by an RDN or international equivalent, compared to usual care or no intervention from an RDN, on percent weight loss, quality of life, cost-effectiveness and adverse events?

  • Conclusion

    There were no weight management intervention studies targeting adults with overweight or obesity who identified as racial or ethnic minorities that reported the outcomes of percent weight loss, quality of life, cost-effectiveness and adverse events.
