Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: P-Participant: Participant The subjects were healthy individuals (excluding those under 18 years of age, pregnant women, and lactating women) and individuals not exceeding the range of subjects for testing of foods for specified health uses (*). * Individuals with a degree of obesity of 1st grade (BMI 25 to 30) or those with a high normal BMI (BMI 23 to 25) I-Intervention: Intervention (food) characteristics The intervention condition was intake of foods containing Bifidobacterium BB536 (B. longum), Bifidobacterium B-3 (B. breve), and N-acetylglucosamine, with no restrictions on intake amount, intake period, or follow-up period. C-Comparison: Comparison group Placebo O-Outcome: Evaluation items Primary outcome: Body composition (weight, body fat percentage, BMI) Secondary outcome: Abdominal fat (total abdominal fat area, visceral fat area, subcutaneous fat area) S-Study design: Research design The research designs used in the literature were randomized parallel group controlled trials (RCTPs), randomized crossover trials (RCTCOs), and quasi-randomized controlled trials (quasi-RCTs). In addition, the languages of presentation were documents written in Japanese and English. As a general rule, the presentation format will be an original paper, and papers in the form of short reports or summaries will also be accepted if the content can be specified. Abstracts of academic conference presentations (conference minutes) were excluded because their descriptive content was considered insufficient. There was no question as to whether or not the journal in which the article was published had been peer-reviewed. To avoid publication bias, we also included studies with results published in clinical trial registry databases. Regarding gray literature, we decided to use doctoral theses, reports from government agencies, think tanks, etc. whose detailed contents could be identified.
