Dietary intake of different carbohydrate types and asthma risk: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Serving as the predominant energy substrate, dietary carbohydrate consumption patterns significantly influence human health. However, the association between carbohydrate intake and asthma risk remains unclear. This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze existing evidence on associations between various carbohydrate types (including free sugars [FS], non-free sugars [NFS], refined grains [RG], whole grains [WG], and dietary fiber [DF]) and risk of asthma.

Methods

From inception to May 2025, we systematically searched major databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) for epidemiological research on the associations between varied dietary carbohydrate types and risk of asthma or wheeze. Random-effect models were employed to calcula
