Health, not weight loss, focused programmes versus conventional weight loss programmes for cardiovascular risk factors: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Yet firm conclusions cannot be drawn from small studies with high losses to follow-up and data sometimes arising from a single small study.Systematic review registrationPROSPEROCRD42015019505
