چکیده
OBJECTIVE The current meta-analysis evaluated the association between vitamin B12 intake and blood vitamin B12 level and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. DESIGN The PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched. A dose-response analysis was performed with generalized least squares regression, with the relative risk (RR) and 95 % CI as effect values. SETTING The meta-analysis included seventeen studies. SUBJECTS A total of 10 601 patients. RESULTS The non-linear dose-response relationship between total vitamin B12 intake and CRC risk was insignificant (P=0·690), but the relationship between dietary vitamin B12 intake and CRC risk was significant (P<0·001). Every 4·5 μg/d increment in total and dietary vitamin B12 intake was inversely associated with CRC risk (total intake: RR=0·963; 95 % CI 0·928, 0·999; dietary intake: RR=0·914; 95 % CI 0·856, 0·977). The inverse association between vitamin B12 intake and CRC risk was also significant when vitamin B12 intake was over a dosage threshold, enhancing the non-linear relationship. The non-linear dose-response relationship between blood vitamin B12 level and CRC risk was insignificant (P=0·219). There was an insignificant association between every 150 pmol/l increment in blood vitamin B12 level and CRC risk (RR=1·023; 95 % CI 0·881, 1·187). CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis indicates that evidence supports the use of vitamin B12 for cancer prevention, especially among populations with high-dose vitamin B12 intake, and that the association between CRC risk and total vitamin B12 intake is stronger than between CRC risk and dietary vitamin B12 intake only.

Background: Although the relation of serum vitamin D levels with abdominal obesity has been investigated by previous observational studies, the results are inconsistent. In the current study, a dose-response meta-analysis was conducted on epidemiologic studies that evaluated this association in adults. Methods: We performed a systematic search of all published articles, up to May 2020, in five...

متن کاملCirculating adiponectin level and risk of colorectal cancer: evidence from a dose-response meta-analysis
Background: Experimental researches shows that adiponectin may have some regulatory roles in the mechanism of colorectal cancer, but epidemiological studies on the association between circulating adiponectin level and colorectal cancer reported inconsistent findings. A dose-response meta-analysis was thus performed to assess the evidence on the association between adiponectin and colorectal can...
متن کاملVitamin D and Colorectal Cancer
In a study involving data from large, Scottish, case-control study, inverse and dose-dependent associations were found between colorectal cancer risk and total vitamin D (OR=0.80) intake according to multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models. On the other hand, no associations were found between calcium intake or vitamin D receptor variants and colorectal cancer. In addition, the author...
