Implication

Systematic review shows lifestyle interventions improve weight loss and may affect fertility outcomes in women, suggesting targeted approaches could enhance effectiveness.

Key Points

Lifestyle interventions reduced weight significantly by an average of −3.87 kg, showing promise for enhancing fertility outcomes in women planning pregnancy.
Odds of clinical pregnancy were higher for interventions delivered in ≥10 sessions, indicating a more intensive approach may be beneficial for women.
This analysis included 24 randomized controlled trials with a total of 7795 women, focusing on various anthropometric and metabolic outcomes.
Preconception interventions should be tailored to patient preferences and practical considerations, given the exploratory nature of subgroup findings.
