ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to compare the efficacy of different mind-body exercises (MBEs) on cardiometabolic risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

A systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase was conducted up to December 15, 2024, using MeSH terms related to mind-body therapies and cardiometabolic risk in type 2 diabetes. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating mind-body exercises (MBEs) on glucose metabolism, body composition, cardiovascular physiology, and lipid metabolism were included. Data extraction and risk of bias assessment (RoB 2 tool) were p
