The effect of egg consumption on cardiometabolic health outcomes: an umbrella review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This umbrella review provides an overview of the consistency and gaps in the evidence base on eggs and cardiometabolic health.

Design

PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, the Nutrition Evidence Systematic Review and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality databases were screened for evidence-based reviews in English that assessed human studies on egg consumption and cardiometabolic outcomes.

Results

Seven systematic reviews and fifteen meta-analyses were identified, with eighteen of these published since 2015. Overall, the systematic reviews were of low quality, while meta-analyses were of moderate- to high-quality. No association of increased egg intake and risks of heart disease or stroke in the general population were found in the meta-analyses. I
