Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of curcumin supplementation on body composition and biochemical indicators in Brazilian women with high waist circumferences.
- During a 90-day clinical trial, participants were given either curcumin (500 mg/day) or a placebo, measuring various health metrics before and after the intervention.
- Results showed that curcumin reduced body mass and improved blood glucose and lipid profiles, but did not significantly change body composition; further research with larger samples is recommended.

- Approximately 42.9% of the participants were identified as overweight or obese, and 45.1% faced a heightened risk for cardiovascular diseases, with a significant family history of CNCDs reported by 88.6%.
- Despite 75% of the participants exercising regularly, fruit and vegetable intake was low, with only 36.7% and 63.3% consuming them at least once a day, indicating a high prevalence of risk factors for CNCDs among the population.
