Meta-analysis or Systematic Review

Low

We included RCTs and quasi-experimental studies that did not have serious risk of bias/conflict of interest issues related to their key outcomes or conclusions; English-language articles; studies that included adults; studies with a duration of a minimum of 4 weeks; studies with a primary or secondary end point including weight or change in weight/body-mass index (BMI)/ waist:hip ratio/body composition (related to proportionof lean and fat); studies with parameters related to common cardiometabolic sequelae of obesity: DM, fasting glucose, A1c, insulin resistance, change in relevant medications, change in lipids: (total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), TC/HDL ratio, triglyceride (TG), change in relevant medications, change in HTN (change in systolic BP, diastolic BP, or change in relevant medications), CVD outcomes (rates of MI, heart failure, etc.), and measures of coronary disease (angiography results, etc.).

Exclusion criteria included noninterventional studies, studies exclusively on children, non-English articles, studies that did not include weight or related measures of obesity. Studies in which the focus was on other less common cardiometabolic issues, study populations limited to special populations such as rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease, etc., and studies that did not have plant-predominant diet changes as a main focus of the intervention were excluded.

Systematically review interventional studies on the use of plant-predominant diets to treat obesity and its major cardiometabolic sequelae.
