Plant-based diets and total and cause-specific mortality: a meta-analysis of prospective studies.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The adherence to plant-based diets has been shown to positively impact longevity by reducing the incidence and severity of lifestyle-related diseases. Previous studies on the association of plant-based dietary pattern, as evaluated by plant-based dietary index (PDI), healthy plant-based dietary index (hPDI) and unhealthy plant-based dietary index (uPDI), with mortality risk have reported inconsistent results. We performed the present meta-analysis to summarize evidence on this association and to quantify the potential dose-response relationship based on all available cohort studies.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search and systematic review of relevant articles up to October 2024 was performed in PubMed and Scopus. The summary risk estimates (RR) with 95% conf
