AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There is some risk of bias in the included studies, with limited information available to assess possible bias and to fully assess the findings of one included study.
Keywords: bias included assess authors conclusions there risk limited information available possible fully - Combined diet and physical activity effects on health-related outcomes in people with overweight or obesity: an overview of systematic reviews (2026) · doi
Selective reporting and publication bias cannot be ruled out; bias tests were not universal, funding of primary studies was rarely reported, and adverse events and cost outcomes were sparse and inconsistent.
