Although recent studies show the hypolipidemic effect of Rosa roxburghii, however reported findings are contradictory. Using meta-analysis, we aimed to explore the effect of R. roxburghii on blood lipid levels. An extensive literature search was performed to investigate the effect of R. roxburghii on various lipid indexes. The results showed that R. roxburghii fruit can significantly reduce total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. R. roxburghii fruit can therefore be used to regulate blood lipid concentrations and it can be considered a valuable adjuvant therapy for blood lipid control. However, this needs confirmation through additional research.
