Abstract

Introduction

Clear recommendations for treating childhood obesity include family involvement, improving diet quality, reducing portion sizes, increasing physical activity, and decreasing sedentary behaviors.

Methods

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to provide evidence the effects of yoga interventions on BMI, weight, body composition, and vital signs in children or adolescents with overweight/obesity. This study searched the PubMed, Web of Science, and EBSCO databases to include all studies published up to June 2024. Methodological quality was assessed with the RoB 2. Randomized or nonrandomized controlled studies were included. The standardized mean difference with a 95% confidence interval was calculated. Heterogeneity was analyzed using the I² test and Q statistic. Publication bias was assessed with the Egger regression test.

Results

This meta-analysis included nine studies. Pooled evidence found that yoga significantly reduces BMI and body fat percentage in children or young people with overweight/obesity.

Conclusion

In conclusion, findings derived from pooled data yoga intervention is an effective method for weight management in children and adolescents with obesity. Additionally, considering that yoga is a calming and mind–body-based intervention, it is recommended that future studies also examine the psychological effects of yoga in children and adolescents with obesity.

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.
