Aim: To assess whether intermittent fasting (IF) diets are associated with improvement in weight loss, metabolic parameters, and subjective well-being, in people with obesity.
Data Synthesis: We performed a Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials longer than 2 months, retrieved through an extensive search on MedLine, Cochrane CENTRAL Library, and Embase online databases, comparing weight loss with IF diets and control diets in people with Body Mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m. We retrieved 9 trials, enrolling 540 patients.
Aim: To assess whether low-carbohydrate (LC) diets are associated with differences in weight loss and well-being in people with obesity, and their cardiovascular and renal safety.
Materials And Methods: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials longer than 3 months, retrieved through an extensive search on MedLine and Embase databases, comparing weight loss with LC and control diets in people with body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m , was conducted.
Results: We retrieved 25 trials.
Aim: To assess whether LC diets are associated with long-term improvement in glycemic control and weight loss in people with T2DM, and their cardiovascular and renal safety.
Methods: Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials lasting more than 3 months, retrieved through extensive search on PubMed, Embase, ClinicalTrial.gov, Cochrane databases up to March 1st, comparing LC diets and balanced carbohydrate diets in people with T2DM.
Background: Anthropometric characteristics and dietary habits are widely recognized to influence blood pressure. We evaluated their role in a large series of Mediterranean adult women.
Methods: In Florence, in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, we recruited 10 083 women, aged 35-64 years.
