Summary: This meta-analysis study found that probiotic supplementation can significantly reduce BMI, waist circumference, and hip circumference in overweight and obese patients, but the effect on body weight is not significant. Although there is a positive trend, further research is needed before recommending probiotics as a therapeutic strategy for these patients.

Summary: Certain dietary patterns, such as the traditional Chinese diet, are associated with a lower risk of obesity in the Chinese population, while other patterns, like the Western diet, have inconsistent associations. The heterogeneity in defining dietary patterns contributes to the inconsistency of results.

Summary: This study aimed to assess if and to what extent potential bias from prediagnostic weight loss has been considered in available epidemiological evidence on the BMI-CRC association. After searching for systematic reviews and meta-analyses, it was found that none of them thoroughly considered or discussed prediagnostic weight loss as a potential source of bias. Results from individual cohort studies included in the latest review were reported heterogeneously, but effect estimates mostly increased with increasing length of exclusion of initial years of follow-up. The impact of overweight and obesity on CRC risk may be larger than suggested by the existing epidemiological evidence.

Summary: An umbrella review and updated meta-analysis found that curcumin supplementation significantly reduces anthropometric indices, including BMI, body weight, and waist circumference. Bioavailability-enhanced formulas showed even better results, especially for obese and diabetic patients, and should be considered for weight reduction.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of web-based interventions for weight change in overweight and obese adults. The analysis of 97 articles showed that components such as social support, self-monitoring, information about health consequences, and goal setting played important roles in achieving effectiveness. The study demonstrated that web-based interventions have significant effects on weight change in individuals with overweight and obesity.

Summary: Polyphenols are effective in managing obesity in certain adults, leading to reductions in body weight, body mass index, and waist circumference. However, there is no significant effect on body fat percentage. The effectiveness of polyphenols varies based on age, ethnicity, health conditions, duration, and dosage.

Summary: The study found that the most effective nonsurgical weight loss interventions were diets, either low-carbohydrate or low-fat diets, followed for 6 months; combination therapy including meal replacements plus enhanced support; and pharmacotherapy followed for 12 months. Other types of interventions such as physical activity and technology also showed significant weight losses, but the majority of studies reported weight losses less than 2 kgs.

Summary: Overweight and obesity are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). Bariatric surgery (BS) can induce sustained weight loss and may be an ideal treatment for preventing AF. Previous studies have not definitively established the role of weight loss and BS in preventing AF. This meta-analysis evaluates the role of weight loss through BS in preventing incident AF in obesity.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed and analyzed the effects of yeast beta-glucan (BG) intake on body weight in obese and non-obese rodents, concluding that the ingestion of BG barely affects the body weight of these animals.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the agreement between BMI-based nutritional status and perceived nutritional status and explore the association between weight perception accuracy and weight control practices in the Chilean adult population. The results showed fair agreement between BMI-based and perceived nutritional status in the total sample, with higher accuracy in women, younger respondents, and those with higher education and income. Individuals with overweight or obesity tended to underestimate their nutritional status. Weight loss behaviors were more related to perceived nutritional status rather than BMI-based status in all groups.

Summary: In non-diabetic obese adults, liraglutide treatment reduces body weight, BMI, and blood pressure, but does not differ from placebo in terms of adverse events, Hb1Ac levels, and hypoglycemic episodes.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis of previous studies and found a negative relationship between body weight and long-term and short-term mortality after hip fracture surgery in older adults. The group with obesity had lower mortality rates, while the underweight group had higher mortality rates.

Summary: This study evaluates the effectiveness of CH as an intracanal medicament in controlling postoperative pain. The results suggest that CH can effectively reduce pain at 24 hours postoperatively, but combination therapy may be more effective than using CH alone.

Summary: High-quality CPGs consistently recommend initiating dialysis in the presence of symptoms or signs and providing education to patients at the decision-making point. There is variation in recommendations regarding dialysis modality selection. CPGs should improve strategies in implementing recommendations and the quality of evidence provided for decision-making support for patients.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of maternal positions in childbirth using Cochrane systematic reviews and found that upright positions during labor may lead to shorter duration and lower rates of interventions. However, the evidence quality is still low to moderate, highlighting the need for further high-quality research in this area.
