Impact of Quantity and Type of Dietary Protein on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Using Standard and Network Meta-analyses of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Higher protein diets (HPDs) have shown favorable outcomes on weight maintenance and body-composition management; however, their protective effects against cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain uncertain and contentious. Furthermore, it is important to consider the influence of other macronutrients in the diet and type of dietary protein when studying HPDs, because this aspect has been overlooked in previous studies.

Objective

We assessed the impacts of quantity and type of dietary protein on CVD risk factors.

Data sources

A database search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library and a total of 100 articles met the eligibility criteria.

Data extraction

Extracted data from 100 articles were analyzed using standard met
