MNT: Anthropometric Outcomes (2022)

• Intervention
  In adults with dyslipidemia, what is the effect of medical nutrition therapy provided by a registered dietitian nutritionist or international equivalent, compared to usual care or no intervention, on body weight?

  • Conclusion

    There is insufficient evidence to suggest medical nutrition therapy provided by an RDN or international equivalent reduces body weight in adults with dyslipidemia. 

  • Grade: Low (C)
    • 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 dyslipidemia, what is the effect of medical nutrition therapy provided by a registered dietitian nutritionist or international equivalent, compared to usual care or no intervention, on waist circumference?

  • Conclusion
