B. longum APC1472 supplementation does not impact BMI and W/H ratio in overweight and obese individuals. Body mass index (BMI) (A, B) and waist-to-hip ratio (W/H ratio) (C, D) were measured as the beginning of the study (pre), after 6 weeks (mid) and after 12 weeks (post) of treatment. All BMI and W/H ratio data are depicted of all 3 timepoints (A, C), as well as the change after 12 weeks compared to at the beginning of the study (B, D). Data are depicted as boxplot or scatter dot plot, where the dots depict individual datapoints, with n = 48 for the placebo group and n = 74 for the B. longum APC1472 treatment group.
