Abstract in brief

  • There is growing interest in plant-based diets like vegetarianism and veganism, but the effects on body and brain are debated, prompting a review of interventional studies.
  • A systematic review of studies found evidence that plant-based diets positively influence weight, metabolism, and inflammation over short to moderate time frames, especially in healthy individuals and those with obesity or type-2 diabetes.
  • Current research suggests some impacts on gut microbiome diversity, but the effects on cognitive health and brain function are still not well understood, requiring further investigation.
