Objectives:
Does coenzyme Q10 supplementation reduce body weight and body mass index (BMI) of patients in randomized controlled clinical trial studies (RCTs)?
Study design:
This review article included 17 RCTs.
Results and conclusions:
The investigators found results of random-effect size meta-analysis showed that supplementation with coenzyme Q10 had no significant decreasing effects on body weight [WMD = 0.28 kg, 95% CI = -0.91 to 1.47, p = 0.64] and BMI [WMD = -0.03, 95% CI = -0.4 to 0.34, p = 0.86] of study participants.
No significant because the calculated p-value of 0.64 was larger than the p-value of 0.05.
Subgroup analysis revealed that dosage of Q10 and trial duration could not differ the results of Q10 supplementation.
The investigators concluded that coenzyme Q10 supplementation has no decreasing effects on body weight and BMI.
