ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
In this study, we sought to summarize the associations between overall, plant-, and animal-based low carbohydrate diet (LCD) scores and the risk of all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer mortality from prospective cohort studies.METHODS:
We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science up to January 2022. We included prospective cohort studies that investigated the relationship between LCD-score and risk of overall, CVD, or cancer mortality. Two investigators assessed the studies for eligibility and extracted the data. Summary hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using a random-effects model.RESULTS:
Ten studies, with 421022 participants, were included in the analysis. In the high-versus-low meta-analysis, overall (HR1.05,95%CI0.97, 1.13, I2 =72.0%) and animal-based LCD-scores (HR 1.08, 95% CI 0.97-1.21; I2 = 88.0%) were not associated with all-cause mortality, but plant-based LCD-score was associated with a risk reduction (HR0.87, 95%CI0.78,0.97; I2 = 88.4%). CVD mortality was not associated with overall, plant-, or animal-based LCD-scores. Overall (HR1.14, 95%CI1.05,1.24; I2 = 37.4%) and animal-based LCD scores (HR1.16,95%CI1.02,1.31; I2 = 73.7%) were associated with a higher risk of cancer mortality, while plant-based LCD-score was not. A U-shaped relationship was revealed between overall LCD-score and all-cause and CVD mortality. The shape of relationship between LCD and cancer mortality was a linear dose-response.CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, diets with a moderate carbohydrate content were associated with the lowest risk of all-cause and CVD mortality. If the sources of macronutrients that replaced carbohydrates were plant-based, the risk of all-cause mortality was reduced linearly with lower carbohydrate content. The risk of cancer mortality increased linearly with the increase in carbohydrate content. Considering the low certainty of evidence, more robust prospective cohort studies are suggested.Palavras-chave
