Fruit and vegetable intake in relation to gastric cancer risk: A comprehensive and updated systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of cohort studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Since the release of previous meta-analyses, some studies on the associations between fruit and vegetable intake with gastric cancer risk have been published. Therefore, we aimed to update the previous meta-analyses on these associations by including recently published studies as well as considering the main limitations of those meta-analyses.

Methods

A comprehensive search was conducted in online databases including PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, and Google Scholar to detect relevant prospective cohort studies published up to October 2021. Summary relative risks (RRs) were estimated using a random-effects model.

Results

Overall, 17 articles containing 18 prospective studies with a total sample size of 1,527,995 participants, aged between 18 and 90 yea
