Analysis showed that soy products significantly reduced body weight , BMI , body fat percent and waist circumference in overweight or obese Asian population s ( −0.37 kg , P = 0.010 ; −0.27 kg/m2 , P = 0.042 ; −0.36 % , P = 0.032 ; −0.35 cm , P = 0.049 ) and more significant effects were observed in non-menopausal women reduced body weight ( −0.59 kg , P = 0.041 ) , BMI ( −0.59 , P = 0.041 ) and waist circumference ( −0.59 cm , P = 0.041 ) in overweight or obese population s. Conclusion : This meta- analysis showed that soy products  have weight loss effects , mainly due to soy protein , isoflavone and soy fiber
Background : The effect of soy products on the weight of overweight or obese people  is controversial , so we aim ed to conduct a systematic review and a meta- analysis of published r and omized controlled trials to analyze whether supplementation with soy products can help them to lose weight .
A haplotype of three SNPs in FTO had a strong association with body composition and BMI in Iranian male adolescents
Background Single-nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNPs ) , which are located in the first intron of the FTO gene , are reported to be associated with body weight and the body mass index ( BMI ) . However , their effects on anthropometric measurements in adolescents are poorly understood . Objective This study aim ed to investigate the association of three adjacent polymorphisms ( rs9930506 , rs9930501 , & rs9932754 ) in the FTO gene with anthropometric indices in Iranian adolescent males . Design The participants comprised a total of 237 adolescent males who were recruited r and omly from two high schools in Tehran , Iran . The DNA sample s were genotyped for the FTO gene polymorphisms by DNA sequencing .  BMI , body fat percentage ( BF% ) , and body muscle percentage ( BM% ) were determined using a vali date d bioelectrical impedance analysis scale . The association of the FTO polymorphisms with weight , height , BMI , BF% , and BM% was investigated . Results A haplotype of rs9930506 , rs9930501 , and rs9932754 ( GGT ) in the first intron of the FTO with complete linkage disequilibrium ( LD ) was found to be significantly associated with higher weight ( OR = 1.32 ) , BMI ( OR = 5.36 ) and BF% ( OR = 1.46 ) , and lower BM% ( OR = 3.59 ) ( all P<0.001 ) . None of the students with GGC genotypes were underweight , while all of the students with AAT genotypes had high muscle mass . Conclusions A haplotype in the first intron of the FTO gene had a strong association with obesity indices in Iranian adolescent males . The FTO gene polymorphisms might have greater effects on anthropometric indices than what was previously imagined . Moreover , we suggested that the FTO gene exerted their effects on anthropometric measurements through haplotypes ( and not single SNPs )
