(1/5)

We found:
- Small improvements to some aspects of mental health
- No evidence of harm to mental health
- A need for high-quality, transparently reported RCTs measuring a range of mental health outcomes over longer durations to strengthen the evidence base

(2/5)

There is good evidence of the effects of weight management interventions on physical health, but there are comparatively very few trials measuring and transparently reporting mental health outcomes.

(3/5)

Although we found no evidence of harm to mental health, the review assessed average effects, and it& #39;s likely this isn& #39;t the case for all participants.

It is vital that we can identify those who are at risk of harm, so appropriate and effective support can be implemented.
