Milk/dairy products consumption and gastric cancer: an update meta-analysis of epidemiological studies.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between dairy consumption and gastric cancer risk has not been well studied. We therefore performed a update meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship. Published cohort and case-control studies were identified via computer searches and reviewing the reference lists of the key articles. Random effects meta-analysis was used to pool effects from 5 cohort and 29 case-control studies. The odds ratio for the overall association between dairy consumption and gastric cancer was 1.20 (95%confidence interval: 1.04-1.39). The combined risk estimate was similar for population-based case-control studies (odds ratio = 1.27, 95%confidence interval: 1.00-1.61), but was reduced for hospital-based studies (odds ratio = 1.22; 95%confidence interval: 0.95-1.57) and cohort studies (odds rati
