Association between body mass index reduction and epicardial adipose tissue changes across pharmacological and lifestyle interventions: a multilevel meta-regression analysis. - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42471652
Explore how different interventions impact epicardial adipose tissue reduction beyond BMI changes. Dietary approaches and GLP-1 agonists demonstrate significant effects.
BMI reduction correlates with EAT reduction, but intervention type significantly influences outcomes. Dietary interventions and GLP-1 agonists show larger EAT reductions, though these findings are exploratory.
