We searched electronic databases, including Embase, PubMed, CENTRAL, RISS, KISS and CNKI, for randomized controlled trials that used acupuncture to treat obesity before June 2017. We found 27 trials involving 32 intervention arms and 2,219 patients. Acupuncture plus lifestyle modification (LM) was more effective than LM alone (Hedges' <jats:italic>g<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a01.104, 95% CI\u00a0=\u00a00.531\u20131.678) and sham acupuncture plus LM (Hedges' <jats:italic>g<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.324, 95% CI\u00a0=\u00a00.177\u20130.471), whereas acupuncture alone was not more effective than sham acupuncture alone and no treatment. Auricular acupuncture (Hedges' <jats:italic>g<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.522, 95% CI\u00a0=\u00a00.152\u20130.893), manual acupuncture (Hedges' <jats:italic>g<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00445, 95% CI\u00a0=\u00a00.044\u20130.846) and pharmacopuncture (Hedges' <jats:italic>g<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.411, 95% CI\u00a0=\u00a00.026\u20130.796) favoured weight loss. Finally, acupuncture treatment was effective only in subjects with overweight (25\u00a0\u2264\u00a0body mass index\u00a0&lt;\u00a030, Hedges' <jats:italic>g<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.528, 95% CI\u00a0=\u00a00.279\u20130.776), not in subjects with obesity (body mass index \u226530). Our study suggests that the effect of acupuncture on weight loss may be maximized when auricular and manual acupuncture or pharmacopuncture treatment is combined with LM in patients with overweight.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/obr.12747","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,4]],"date-time":"2018-09-04T22:13:41Z","timestamp":1536099221000},"page":"1585-1596","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["Effect of acupuncture and intervention types on weight loss: a systematic review and meta\u2010analysis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"S.\u2010Y.","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biofunctional Medicine &amp; Diagnostics, College of Korean Medicine, Graduate School Kyung Hee University  Seoul South Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I.\u2010S.","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Education, College of Education Jeonju University  Jeonju South Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1582-7858","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Y.\u2010J.","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biofunctional Medicine &amp; Diagnostics, College of Korean Medicine, Graduate School Kyung Hee University  Seoul South Korea"},{"name":"Department of Diagnosis and Biofunctional Medicine Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong  Seoul South Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization(2017).Obesity and overweight[WWW document].http:\/\/www.who.int\/mediacentre\/factsheets\/fs311\/en\/"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-789X.2007.00311.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(07)60033-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","volume-title":"Clinical practice guideline for obesity","author":"Korean society for the study of obesity","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1003114"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","first-page":"1381","article-title":"Therapeutic fasting in morbid obesity","volume":"137","author":"Johnson D","year":"1977","journal-title":"ArchIntern Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/79.4.529"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/jmf.2011.1982"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","first-page":"S8","article-title":"Complementary and alternative modes of therapy for the treatment of the obese patient","volume":"99","author":"Mulhisen L","year":"1999","journal-title":"J Am Osteopath Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pop.2009.01.011"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.319.7213.836"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/jwh.2008.1005"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eujim.2011.12.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/acupmed-2012-010247"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/S0192415X75000311"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/j.1550-8528.1995.tb00484.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ijo.2008.269"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/S0192415X1750015X"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/medethics-2012-101045"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroimage.2005.01.016"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jada.2011.08.034"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/oby.21244"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.6114\/jkood.2012.25.3.097"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15429\/jkomor.2015.15.1.33"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_26_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11695-011-0472-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_27_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.1000100"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_28_1","unstructured":"HigginsJPT GreenS(editors) (2011).Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions Version 5.1.0 [updated March 2011] [WWW document].http:\/\/handbook.cochrane.org"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_29_1","volume-title":"Practical meta\u2010analysis.
