Intervention
In adults with overweight or obesity and low socioeconomic status, 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 blood pressure?
- Conclusion
  In adults with overweight or obesity and low SES, the evidence is limited regarding the effect of weight management interventions provided by a dietitian on 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.

In adults with overweight or obesity and low socioeconomic status, 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?
- Conclusion
  There were no weight management intervention randomized controlled trials or non-randomized controlled trials that targeted individuals with overweight or obesity and low SES and reported the outcome of percent weight loss or likelihood of achieving 5% weight loss.
