What This Paper Covers, in Plain Language
What It Covers
The paper reports a study of Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc, published as a meta-analysis.
This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was conducted to evaluate the effects of zinc supplementation on cardiometabolic risk factors.
Why It Was Studied
The results of reported studies on the effects of zinc supplementation on cardiometabolic risk factors are unequivocal.
A systematic search was conducted through international databases (PubMed/Medline, Institute of Scientific Information, and Scopus) until December 2018 to include all randomized controlled trials (RCT), quasi-RCT, and controlled clinical trials which assessed the effect of zinc supplementation on cardiometabolic risk factors including lipid profile, glycemic indices, blood pressure, and anthropometric indices.
Who the Included Studies Covered
A total of 20 studies were included in the meta-analysis, which included a total of 1141 participants in the intervention group.
What Was Measured
A systematic search was conducted through international databases (PubMed/Medline, Institute of Scientific Information, and Scopus) until December 2018 to include all randomized controlled trials (RCT), quasi-RCT, and controlled clinical trials which assessed the effect of zinc supplementation on cardiometabolic risk factors including lipid profile, glycemic indices, blood pressure, and anthropometric indices.
Topics PubMed links to this paper include Cardiovascular Diseases, Dietary Supplements, Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic, Risk Factors and Zinc.
The authors tagged it with the keywords Cardiometabolic risk factors, Meta-analysis, Metabolic syndrome, Systematic review and Zinc supplementation.
