A Series of Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses of the Effect of Vegetarian/Vegan Diets on Cardiometabolic Risk

NCT02600377 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 1

Summary

Vegetarian and vegan diets have been shown to reduce chronic disease risk, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease, as well as several cardiometabolic risk factors. Whether vegetarian and/or vegan dietary patterns improve cardiometabolic risk factors in individuals with diabetes remains unclear. To address the uncertainties, the investigators propose to conduct a series of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the totality of the evidence from randomized controlled trials to distinguish the effect of vegetarian and/or vegan diets on the prevention and management of diabetes. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of consumers through informing evidence-based guidelines and improving health outcomes by educating healthcare providers and patients, stimulating industry innovation, and guiding future research design
