Abstract

There is controversial data on the impacts of bitter melon (Momordica charantia) supplementations on anthropometric indices. Thus, we aimed to clarify this role of bitter melon through a systematic review, and meta-analysis of the trials. All clinical trials conducted on the impact of bitter melon on anthropometric indices were published until August 2023 in PubMed, Web of Sciences, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane Library web databases included. Overall, 10 studies with 448 individuals were included in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis of 10 trials with 448 participants revealed no significant reductions in body weight (BW) (WMD: 0.04 Kg; 95 %CI: −0.16–0.25; P =0.651), body mass index (BMI) (WMD: −0.18 kg/m2; 95 %CI: −0.43–0.07; P =0.171), waist circumference (WC) (WMD: −0.95 cm; 95 % CI: −3.05–1.16; p =0.372), and percentage of body fat (PBF) (WMD: −0.99; 95 % CI: −2.33–0.35; p =0.141) following bitter melon supplementation. There was no significant impact of bitter melon supplementation on BW, BMI, WC, and PBF. More large-scale and high-quality RCTs are necessary to confirm these results.

苦瓜（Momordica charantia）对成人人体测量指数的影响：随机对照试验的系统回顾和荟萃分析

关于苦瓜（Momordica charantia）补充剂对人体测量指数的影响，目前还存在争议。因此，我们旨在通过系统回顾和试验荟萃分析来澄清苦瓜的这一作用。截至 2023 年 8 月，PubMed、Web of Sciences、Scopus、Embase 和 Cochrane Library 等网络数据库收录了所有关于苦瓜对人体测量指数影响的临床试验。荟萃分析共纳入了 10 项研究，共 448 人。对有 448 人参加的 10 项试验进行的荟萃分析表明，体重（BW）（WMD：0.04 公斤；95 %CI：-0.16-0.25；P =0.651）、体重指数（BMI）（WMD：-0.18 公斤/平方米；95 %CI：-0.43-0.P =0.171）、腰围（WC）（WMD：-0.95 厘米；95 % CI：-3.05-1.16；P =0.372）和体脂百分比（PBF）（WMD：-0.99；95 % CI：-2.33-0.35；P =0.141）。补充苦瓜对体重、体重指数、腹围和体脂率没有明显影响。有必要进行更多大规模和高质量的 RCT 研究来证实这些结果。
