Voedingsadvies El MondoResearch Question:
Literature let inconsistent findings of the association between folic acid consumption and the risk of pancreatic cancer (pancreatic cancer) see. It was therefore carried out this review article.
Eating or swallowing folic acid lowers the chances of getting pancreatic cancer?
Study Design:
This overview article 4 contained 6 cohort studies and case-control studies.
Results and conclusions:
The researchers found that eating a lot of folic acid compared to little, the chance of getting pancreatic cancer (pancreatic cancer) significantly with 34% [95% CI = 0.49-0.88] reduced. Significant is, there is a link at a 95% reliability
The researchers found that taking folic acid supplements, the chance of getting pancreatic cancer not significant with 8% [95% CI = 0.82-1.41] increased. Non-significant is, there is no link to a 95% reliability.
The researchers found that each increase of 100 micrograms of folic acid a day through food, the chance of getting pancreatic cancer significantly with 7% [95% CI = 0.90-0.97] reduced. Significant is, there is a link at a 95% reliability
The researchers concluded that eating at least 100 micrograms of folic acid per day reduced the chance of getting pancreatic cancer.
