Microbiome\u2010targeted therapies with probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics may improve outcomes by modulating metabolism, inflammation, and blood pressure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a systematic review and meta\u2010analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in adults with MetS. Searches through April 2023 identified eligible RCTs, yielding 19 studies and 21 independent comparisons. Pooled mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random effects model. Subgroup analyses and meta\u2010regressions examined moderators and heterogeneity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 19 studies comprising 21 trial comparisons were included. Microbiome\u2010modulating interventions were associated with modest reductions in waist circumference and body weight (BW), indicating improvements in central adiposity. In contrast, effects on body mass index (BMI) were limited, and no meaningful changes were observed in systolic or diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Subgroup and meta\u2010regression analyses suggested that higher microbial dose, longer intervention duration, and greater baseline adiposity were associated with more pronounced anthropometric responses. Moderate heterogeneity was observed across several outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Microbiome\u2010targeted therapies reduced waist circumference (WC) and BW in MetS but had no effect on BMI, systolic blood pressure (SBP), or DBP. These safe interventions may complement lifestyle strategies. Larger, standardized trials with microbiome profiling are needed to refine therapeutic use. These findings support a potential adjunctive role for microbiome\u2010targeted therapies in MetS, particularly for central adiposity, though standardized, longer duration trials with microbiome profiling are needed to clarify clinical utility.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/obr.70215","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,24]],"date-time":"2026-08-24T03:04:37Z","timestamp":1787540677000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Effect of Microbiome\u2010Modulating Therapeutics on Anthropometric and Hemodynamic Biomarkers in Metabolic Syndrome: A Systematic Review, Meta\u2010Analysis, and Meta\u2010Regression of Clinical Trials"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6283-1596","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pradipta","family":"Paul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Weill Cornell Medicine\u2010Qatar Cornell University, Qatar Foundation, Education City  Doha Qatar"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine Rochester General Hospital  Rochester New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-6793-4348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iman","family":"Dajani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Weill Cornell Medicine\u2010Qatar Cornell University, Qatar Foundation, Education City  Doha Qatar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3487-2512","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ridhima","family":"Kaul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Weill Cornell Medicine\u2010Qatar Cornell University, Qatar Foundation, Education City  Doha Qatar"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine Cleveland Clinic Main Campus  Cleveland Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0171-143X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Chaari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Weill Cornell Medicine\u2010Qatar Cornell University, Qatar Foundation, Education City  Doha Qatar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S15","DOI":"10.2337\/dc21-S002","article-title":"2.
