Previous studies on the effect of sesame products consumption on body weight and composition have led to inconsistent results. Relevant databases were searched up to April 2018 to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled clinical trials. Data on body weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percent, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist to hip ratio (WHR), and body adiposity index (BAI) were extracted. Ten studies were included in the systematic review. Sesame products consumption did not significantly affect body weight and BMI (P > 0.05). Only sesame oil significantly decreased the body weight and BMI (P < 0.05). The body fat percent and the BAI were significantly reduced after sesame consumption (P < 0.05). Sesame consumption did not affect other body composition indices (P > 0.05). The present study provided some evidence regarding the beneficial effects of sesame on body adiposity indices. Further studies are still required to confirm our results. Registration code: CRD42017054149.

先前有关食用芝麻产品对体重和组成的影响的研究导致不一致的结果。检索截至2018年4月的相关数据库，以对对照临床试验进行系统回顾和荟萃分析。提取有关体重，体重指数（BMI），体脂百分比，腰围（WC），hip围（HC），腰围与臀围比率（WHR）和身体肥胖指数（BAI）的数据。系统评价包括十项研究。芝麻产品的食用对体重和BMI没有显着影响（P> 0.05）。仅芝麻油显着降低了体重和BMI（P <0.05）。芝麻摄入后，体内脂肪百分比和BAI显着降低（P <0.05）。芝麻摄入量不影响其他身体成分指数（P> 0.05）。本研究提供了有关芝麻对人体肥胖指数有益影响的一些证据。仍需要进一步研究以确认我们的结果。注册代码：CRD42017054149。
