Energy balance
Weight, fat mass, waist circumference, and systolic blood pressure decreased after treatment with both diets in obese subjects with the rs9939609 gene variant.
Practitioners can expect reductions in key health metrics with hypocaloric diets in this population.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
After treatment with both diets and in both genotypes, weight, fat mass, waist circumference and systolic blood pressures decreased.
Why this rating
Based on the prospective design with a significant sample size.
