Abstract

Objectives: to evaluate the effectiveness of cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) in reducing anthropometric measurements in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted with 140 participants, divided into an experimental group (n = 71) and a control group (n = 69). The experimental group consumed 3 g/day of encapsulated cinnamon for 90 days. Anthropometric variables were measured at baseline and at the end of the study, with intra-group comparisons performed using a paired t-test.

Results: the majority of participants were women (69.2%) with a mean age of 61 years. Reductions were observed in weight (-0.8 kg, p =0.11), body mass index (-0.36 kg/m2, p =0.16), body adiposity index (-1.02%, p =0.38), waist circumference (-3.97 cm, p =0.67), neck circumference (-0.45 cm, p = 0.68), and hip circumference (-1.83 cm, p =0.49), none of which were statistically significant (p > 0.05).

Conclusions: cinnamon supplementation resulted in reductions in anthropometric measurements compared to placebo, but these differences were not statistically significant.

肉桂降低2型糖尿病患者人体测量值的功效：一项临床试验。

目的：评价肉桂（Cinnamomum verum）降低2型糖尿病患者的人体测量值的有效性。方法：采用随机、三盲、安慰剂对照的临床试验140例，分为实验组71例，对照组69例。试验组每天服用3 g桂皮胶囊，连续90 d。在基线和研究结束时测量人体测量变量，并使用配对t检验进行组内比较。结果：大多数参与者为女性（69.2%），平均年龄61岁。体重（-0.8 kg, p =0.11）、体重指数（-0.36 kg/m2, p =0.16）、体脂指数（-1.02%,p =0.38）、腰围（-3.97 cm, p =0.67）、颈围（-0.45 cm, p = 0.68）、臀围（-1.83 cm, p =0.49）均有所下降，但均无统计学意义（p > 0.05）。结论：与安慰剂相比，肉桂补充剂导致人体测量值降低，但这些差异没有统计学意义。
