Background: Although some studies have reported that flavonoids can be associated with anti-obesity effects, the putative effects of hesperidin, as a subgroup of flavonoids, on anthropometric parameters are inconclusive. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to determine the effect of hesperidin supplementation on anthropometric measures in adults. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed until February 2022 in electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The pooled results were obtained by a random-effects model. Results: A total of nine RCTs enrolling 493 participants were identified. Seven studies had illustrated the effect of hesperidin on weight, eight on body mass index (BMI), five on waist circumference (WC), two on waist to hip ratio (WHR), and two on hip circumference (HC). The results of the pooled analysis showed no significant changes in body weight (0.01 k
Ali Sié and colleagues present pre-specified anthropometric outcomes from a randomized controlled trial that assessed the impact of a single-dose of oral azithromycin on infant mortality in Burkina Faso.
In a Mendelian randomization study, Fu Siong Ng and colleagues investigate how different anthropometric measures influence proarrhythmic 12-lead ECG indices.
Using individual participant data from more than 140,000 pregnant women across 25 low- and middle-income countries, Anne Marie Darling and colleagues explore the risk factors associated with both inadequate and excessive gestational weight gain.
