  • Conclusion

    In adults with overweight or obesity and cardiovascular disease, weight management intervention provided by a dietitian resulted in little to no difference in blood pressure.

    • 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 CVD, 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 fasting blood glucose?

  • Conclusion

    In adults with overweight or obesity and cardiovascular disease but without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, weight management intervention provided by a dietitian may result in little to no difference in fasting blood glucose.
