Low carbohydrate ketogenic diets reduce cardiovascular risk factor levels in obese or overweight patients with T2DM: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to explore the effects of low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets on cardiovascular risk factors in overweight or obese patients. However, there are limited literature data about effects of low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets on cardiovascular risk factors in obese or overweight patients.

Methods

We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, OVID, and Cochrane Library databases (last updated in September 2022) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which recruited overweight or obesity patients on ketogenic diets in order to control cardiovascular risk factors (blood glucose, weight, and lipids). The overall effect size for continuous variables was expressed as a weighted standardized mean difference (SMD) with a confidenc
