Objectives:
Is there an association between potato consumption and risk of all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular mortality in adults?
Study design:
This review article included 20 prospective cohort studies with 25,208 cases of all-cause mortality, 4,877 of cancer mortality and 2,366 of cardiovascular mortality.
There was no evidence for publication bias.
Results and conclusions:
The investigators found no significant association between potato consumption and risk of all-cause [RR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.8 to 1.02, p = 0.096] and cancer [RR = 1.09, 95% CI = 0.96 to 1.24, p = 0.204] mortality.
The investigators found, in addition, no significant linear association between each 100 g/d increments in potato consumption and risk of all-cause [p = 0.7] and cancer [p = 0.09] mortality.
Moreover, nonlinear association between potato consumption and risk of cancer mortality was non-significant [p-nonlinearity = 0.99].
The investigators found, in addition, 2 of 3 studies which examined the association of potato consumption with cardiovascular mortality did not find any significant relationship.
The investigators concluded there is no association between potato consumption and risk of all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular mortality in adults.
