Design

Setting

Meta-analysis.ParticipantsNine cross-sectional studies.

Results

A total of nine articles with fifteen studies for dietary Ca intake were finally included in the meta-analysis. The combined OR with 95 % CI of MetS for the highest v. lowest category of dietary Ca intake was 0·80 (95 % CI 0·70
