No associations between fruit and vegetable consumption and pancreatic cancer risk: a meta-analysis of prospective studies.

ABSTRACT: The associations between fruit and vegetable consumption and pancreatic cancer risk are inconclusive. We conducted a meta-analysis of prospective studies to investigate the associations. The search was conducted systemically using the PubMed and EMBASE databases up to March 2017. Relative risks and 95% confidence intervals for the highest versus lowest consumption and dose-response analyses were assessed. Subtype and subgroup analyses were performed. Twelve studies were eligible. The summary relative risks of the highest versus lowest consumption were 0.95 (0.80-1.12) for total fruits and vegetables without heterogeneity (I² = 0%, P = 0.44), 0.96 (0.82-1.12) for fruits without low heterogeneity (I² = 37%, P = 0.12) and 0.94 (0.84-1.06) for
