Title
The consumption of sorghum in human populations and associated impact on health outcomes: a systematic review
Review Question
In comparison to diets that do not include sorghum, does the consumption of sorghum lead to health benefits in human populations?
Study Type Included
There will be no restrictions on the types of study design that will be eligible for inclusion in the review. As such, experimental and observational studies will be included.
Condition Being Studied
Due to the paucity of literature that investigates the impact of sorghum consumption in a human cohort, the outcomes to be assessed in this review encompass any health benefits associated with the consumption of sorghum in the diet. Health outcomes are defined as a measurable effect on a biologically or physiologically relevant parameter in humans. This could include (but is not limited to) the impact of sorghum consumption on disease biomarkers, anthropometric measures, mortality and morbidity (variables relevant to human health). Importantly, this definition does not include bioavailability and digestibility of nutrients from sorghum.
Participant
Original research that investigates the impact of sorghum consumption among a human population will be included. This will include male and female participants of any age, health status, socioeconomic status and geographic location.
Animal
Human Disease Modelled
Intervention
Studies that investigate the impact of sorghum consumption on a health outcome will be included. For the purposes of this review, included studies may utilise sorghum in intervention studies in its raw form (grain sorghum), processed form (refined, milled, cooked etc), extracted form (such as the germ or endosperm) or included as an ingredient in a food product. Studies that utilised a range of foods in addition to sorghum as part of the intervention diet will be excluded, unless the effect of sorghum can be separated from the effect of the other factors present in the diet. Additionally, the intervention/exposure period (sorghum consumption) will not be limited to a specific time frame for studies to be eligible for inclusion.
Comparator Control
The impact of sorghum consumption on health outcomes will be compared to individuals who do not consume sorghum in the diet. If the control/comparison group is exposed to an alternative source of nutrients (for example in an intervention study), these nutrients must be in the form of a ‘food’ to enable valid comparisons between the control and intervention groups to be made.
Main Outcome
The primary outcome is the effect of sorghum on health outcomes. It is anticipated that several key health outcomes will be identified from the reviewed body of literature and these will underpin this literature review.
