The association between blood selenium and metabolic syndrome in adults: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

Although the relationship between selenium and metabolic syndrome (MetS) was previously investigated, the findings were inconsistent. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis to summarize the association between blood selenium and MetS in adults.

Methods

A comprehensive search was conducted in Medline (PubMed), ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and motor engineering of Google Scholar up to October 1st, 2024. Observational studies which reported the risk of MetS in relation to blood selenium in adults were included. The protocol of the current analysis was registered at PROSPERO as CRD42024486035.

Results

Overall, 16,779 participants and 6,471 cases with MetS from 5 cross-sectional and 7 case-control studies were included
