Abstract
Introduction
The positive impact of prunes on body measurements and blood pressure has been suggested in previous research.
Purpose
The purpose of this extensive meta-analysis and systematic review was to examine the effects of adult consumption of prunes on anthropometric parameters and blood pressure.
Methods
To identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (till August 9th, 2024), databases from ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed/Medline were searched. The current systematic review and meta-analysis covered 14 studies that met the eligibility requirements. The weighted mean difference was used to compute the effect size. The Cochrane Q test and I2 index were used to measure study heterogeneity. The random effects model was utilized to get the overall effect magnitude.
Results
The meta-findings analysis's showed that eating prunes had no appreciable effects on, body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.267), waist circumference (WC) (p = 0.562), fat mass (FM) (p = 0.840), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (p = 0.338), or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (p = 0.233). However, we observed significantly reduction in body weight (p < 0.001) after prunes consumption.
Conclusion
Our findings showed that the consumption of prune leads to a significant reduction in body weight, but the results indicated non-significant effects on blood pressure, BMI, WC and FM.
