What people are saying

The discussions collectively reinforce the article's conclusion that combination contraceptives do not significantly influence weight, with many posts citing meta-analyses and referencing the large number of trials involved, illustrating strong agreement and interest. The tone varies from confident claims about the evidence to rebuttals of myths, showing deep engagement in understanding and debating the topic's implications.

AgreementStrong agreement

Most discussions agree that the evidence does not show a solid link between combination contraceptives and weight gain, reflecting the study's conclusions.

InterestHigh interest

Participants show high interest by referencing detailed data, meta-analyses, and specific examples about the trials and evidence, indicating active engagement with the topic.

EngagementHigh engagement

Many discuss methodological details, contest contrary claims, and cite reputable sources, demonstrating deep engagement beyond surface-level reactions.

ImpactModerate impact

While the discussions emphasize the significance of the research findings in challenging widespread beliefs, the overall impact on broader public opinion is currently moderate.

Abstract in brief

  • The review investigates whether use of combination hormonal contraceptives leads to weight gain, noting that while many women and clinicians worry about this side effect, a direct causal link has not been proven.
  • Researchers examined data from 49 randomized controlled trials, analyzing weight changes over at least three treatment cycles, comparing contraceptives to placebos or different drug regimens.
  • The findings suggest that the relationship between contraceptive use and weight gain remains unclear, highlighting the need for further research to determine if such contraceptives genuinely impact weight.

@Mr_Meester So he made a few claims First being weight gain. On average the trials show no major signal of weight gain (many patients swear it is the case). The depo shot being the exception (has a signal for weight gain) https://t.co/7XGzwNMuNY

I just love it when uneducated idiots make authoritative declarations on subjects they know nothing about. Available evidence indicates combined hormonal contraceptives do not cause significant weight chainges, be it weight gain or weight loss. https://t.co/vm3I8vQCuA https://t.co/qUmZUg2ogH

@Marandajaa puesss la mayoría de estudios muestran que no hay relación causal directa entre uso de ACOS y aumento de peso. En los pocos que la hay, la ganancia de peso es discreta/no significativa (y tampoco se presenta en la mayoría de pacientes), tons es más un mito https://t.co/R9zTgvaX2N

@ChrisyMovieFrea @KarimKais1 @bialzmat @Psyhodelikus Eh bien apparemment non, tu ne sais pas de quoi tu parles. Les dernières méta-analyses ne trouvent aucun lien entre contraception et prise de poids. https://t.co/17GMLGG7j7

@wintercqls https://t.co/ePzrFMfXhA this is a study showing no correlation between bc and weight gain from 49(!!!) trials. These pills cannot change your weight by themselves so if you're not eating at a caloric surplus, you're not going to gain weight

@humanasereia Não é associado ao ACHO (anticoncepcional hormonal oral), porém pode ser correlacionado pelas mulheres em uma falsa relação causa-efeito. O que causa ganho de peso são os anticoncepcionais injetáveis https://t.co/Pgqe80vtSp
