Introduction. Overweight and obesity are among the most important modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and premature death. The aim of this review was to systematically assess and analyze the effects of yoga on weight-related outcomes.Methods. Medline/PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library were screened through March 2015 for randomized controlled trials on yoga for weight-related outcomes in the general population or overweight/obese individuals. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool on the following domains: selection bias, performance bias, detection bias, attrition bias, reporting bias, and other bias.Results. Out of 445 records identified during literature search, 30 trials with a total of 2173 participants were included. No effects on weight, body mass index, body fat percentage or waist circumference were found. In studies with healthy adult participants an effect of yoga compared to usual care was found regarding waist/hip ratio (SMD =-− 1.00; 95% CI =-− 1.44, − 0.55; p b 0.001). In studies with overweight/obese participants only, effects relative to usual care were found for body mass index (SMD = −0.99; 95% CI = −1.67, −0.31; p = 0.004). Effects however were not robust against selection bias; and publication bias could not be ruled out. No intervention-related adverse events were reported.Conclusions. Despite methodological drawbacks, yoga can be preliminarily considered a safe and effective intervention to reduce body mass index in overweight or obese individuals.

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a heterogeneous condition associated with increased cardiovascular risk. There is growing evidence from experimental, translational, and clinical investigations that has suggested that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with prevalent and incident components of MS and MS itself. The biological plausibility is supportive, primarily related to one of the main features of OSA, namely intermittent hypoxia: increased sympathetic activation with hemodynamic repercussions, increased hepatic glucose output, insulin resistance through adipose tissue inflammation, pancreatic β-cell dysfunction, hyperlipidemia through the worsening of fasting lipid profiles, and the reduced clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Although there are multiple related pathways, the clinical evidence relies mainly on cross-sectional data preventing any causality assumptions. The overlapping presence of visceral obesity or other confounders such as medications challenges the ability to understand the independent contribution of OSA on MS. In this review, we revisit the evidence on how OSA/intermittent hypoxia could mediate adverse effects of MS parameters independent of adiposity. Particular attention is devoted to discussing recent evidence from interventional studies. This review describes the research gaps, the challenges in the field, perspectives, and the need for additional high-quality data from interventional studies addressing the impact of not only established but promising therapies for OSA/obesity.
