    Abstract

    Background Previous studies evaluating the effects of selenium supplementation on lipid profile and blood pressure (BP) offer contradictory findings. This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effects of selenium supplementation on these lipid profile and BP. Methods In order to identify interrelated clinical trials, we performed a comprehensive literature search in the online databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and ISI web of science, up to December 2021. Results The analysis of the data established that selenium supplementation did not significantly affect TG level (WMD: -0.84mg/dL; 95% CI: -4.74, 3.05, p= 0.671), LDL-C (WMD: 0.86mg/dL; 95% CI: -1.21, 2.95, p= 0.416), and HDL-C (WMD: 0.3mg/dL; 95% CI: -0.66, 1.27, p= 0.535). however, there was a significant reduction in TC levels following selenium supplementation (WMD: -2.11mg/dL; 95% CI: -4.09, -0.13, p= 0.037). After subgroup analysis, when the baseline levels of LDL-C were
