Background and objectives |
The effects of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on anthropometrics remain obscure. This review quantitatively synthesizes the effects of MBIs on decreasing body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), weight, and percent body fat (%BF).
Methods |
Seven databases, including CINAHL Plus with Full Text, PubMed, PsycINFO, Cochrane, Web of Science Core Collection, Embase, and Sociological Abstracts were searched; studies with a comparison group were selected. Random-effects models were then applied to estimate the pooled effects (Hedge’s g), while exploratory moderation analyses with mixed-effects models were performed to explore potential moderators of MBIs on anthropometrics.
Results |
The pooled effect size was −0.36 (p < .001) on BMI, −0.52 (p < .001) on WC, −1.20 (p < .004) on weight loss, and −0.43 (p = .389) on %BF. The long-term effects from baseline to follow-up and from post-intervention to follow-up were sustained on BMI (−0.37, p = .027; −.24, p = .065) and weight loss (−1.91, p = .027; −0.74, p = .011) respectively. For weight loss, adding mindful movement had greater effects than those without (−2.65 vs −0.39, p < .001).
Conclusion |
Our findings support the short-term MBI effects on BMI reduction, WC, weight, and %BF, and long-term effects on reducing BMI and weight. Future efforts should focus on sustaining effects on reducing WC and %BF.
