Abstract
Introduction: Currently, trials are investigating the efficacy of nutrient-stimulated hormone-based therapies (NuSHs) in promoting weight loss in people living with overweight and obesity. However, the extent to which nutritional and functional outcomes are evaluated remains uncertain. Thus, we conducted a systematic mapping to assess the presence of nutritional and functional outcomes in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating NuSHs.
Methods: We conducted a systematic mapping search on the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), which includes ClinicalTrials.gov and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform for interventional trials of NuSHs registered from inception to December 31, 2023. We excluded non- and quasi-randomized trials, phase I trials, trials that did not include body weight as a primary or secondary outcome, trials with an intervention duration of less than 6 months, and trials that did not specify a body mass index threshold in their eligibility criteria. Outcomes included: dietary intake, eating behavior, body composition, physical performance, muscle strength, bone health, and levels of vitamins, trace elements, albumin, prealbumin, and hemoglobin.
Results: The search identified 2284 trials, of which 417 were included in the analysis. The proportion of RCTs that included nutritional assessment other than body weight increased over time. Approximately, 20.4% reported measurements of body composition, 17.3% reported measurements of albumin/prealbumin/hemoglobin, and 17% reported assessment of dietary intake and eating behavior. Evaluations of bone health, physical performance, muscle strength, and measurements of vitamins/trace elements were reported in less than 5% of the total trials each.
Conclusion: The present review has shown the sparse reporting of nutritional and functional outcomes in RCTs evaluating the impact of NuSHs.
期刊介绍:
Obesity Reviews is a monthly journal publishing reviews on all disciplines related to obesity and its comorbidities. This includes basic and behavioral sciences, clinical treatment and outcomes, epidemiology, prevention and public health. The journal should, therefore, appeal to all professionals with an interest in obesity and its comorbidities.
Review types may include systematic narrative reviews, quantitative meta-analyses and narrative reviews but all must offer new insights, critical or novel perspectives that will enhance the state of knowledge in the field.
The editorial policy is to publish high quality peer-reviewed manuscripts that provide needed new insight into all aspects of obesity and its related comorbidities while minimizing the period between submission and publication.
