The Effect of Conjugated Linoleic Acid Supplementation on Densitometric Parameters in Overweight and Obese Women—A Randomised Controlled Trial

<i>Background and Objectives</i>: Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) can improve bone health in animals, yet the effects on humans have not been consistent. Therefore, this parallel randomised controlled trial aimed to assess the effect of CLA supplementation on bone mineral density (BMD) an...

description <i>Background and Objectives</i>: Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) can improve bone health in animals, yet the effects on humans have not been consistent. Therefore, this parallel randomised controlled trial aimed to assess the effect of CLA supplementation on bone mineral density (BMD) and content (BMC) in overweight or obese women. <i>Materials and Methods</i>: The study population included 74 women who were divided into the CLA (<i>n</i> = 37) and control (<i>n</i> = 37) groups. The CLA group received six capsules per day containing approximately 3 g of cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12 CLA isomers in a 50:50 ratio. The control group received the same number of placebo capsules that contained sunflower oil. BMC and BMD at total body, lumbar spine (L1–L4), and femoral neck were measured before and after a three-month intervention. <i>Results</i>: The comparison of BMC and BMD for the total body, lumbar spine (L1–L4), and femoral neck before and after the intervention showed no differences between the groups. However, a within-group analysis demonstrated a significant increase in BMC (<i>p</i> = 0.0100) and BMD (<i>p</i> = 0.0397) at lumbar spine (L1–L4) in the CLA group. Nevertheless, there were no significant differences between the CLA and placebo groups in changes in all analysed densitometric parameters. <i>Conclusions</i>: Altogether, three-month CLA supplementation in overweight and obese women did not improve bone health, although the short intervention period could have limited our findings, long-term intervention studies are needed. The study protocol was registered in the German Clinical Trials Register database (ID: DRKS00010462, date of registration: 4 May 2016).
