Abstract

The aim of this systematic review and meta‐analysis was to summarize the evidence on the relationship between intake of 12 major food groups, including whole grains, refined grains, vegetables, fruit, nuts, legumes, eggs, dairy, fish, red meat, processed meat and sugar‐sweetened beverages with risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). We conducted a systematic search in PubMed and Embase for prospective studies investigating the association between these 12 food groups and risk of CRC until April 2017. Summary risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated using a random effects model for high vs. low intake categories, as well as for linear and nonlinear relationships. An inverse association was observed for whole grains (RR 30g/d: 0.95, 95% CI 0.93, 0.97; n = 9 studies), vegetables (RR 100g/d: 0.97, 95% CI 0.96, 0.98; n = 15), fruit (RR 100g/d: 0.97, 95% CI 0.95, 0.99; n = 16) and dairy (RR 200g/d: 0.93, 95% CI 0.91, 0.94; n = 15), while a positive association for red meat (RR 100g/d: 1.12, 95% CI 1.06, 1.19; n = 21) and processed meat (RR 50g/d: 1.17, 95% CI 1.10, 1.23; n = 16), was seen in the linear dose‐response meta‐analysis. Some evidence for nonlinear relationships was observed between vegetables, fruit and dairy and risk of colorectal cancer. Findings of this meta‐analysis showed that a diet characterized by high intake of whole grains, vegetables, fruit and dairy products and low amounts of red meat and processed meat was associated with lower risk of CRC.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
