Metabolic adaptation
Incorporating MRs into a weight loss intervention leads to reductions in LDL-c by -0.18 mmol/L and non-HDL-c by -0.17 mmol/L.
Meal replacements can improve lipid profiles in individuals at risk of metabolic syndrome.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
MRs led to greater reductions in LDL-c (-0.18 mmol/L [-0.28, -0.08]) and non-HDL-c (-0.17 mmol/L [-0.33, -0.01]).
Why this rating
Based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
