Abstract:
Introduction: The objective of this meta-analysis was to estimate quantitatively the associations between intake or status of omega-3 polyunsaturated (omega-3 PUFA) fatty acids and occurrence of prostate cancer in observational studies in humans.
Methods: We combined risk estimates across studies using random-effects models.
Results: The combined estimate showed an increased risk of prostate cancer in men with a high intake or blood level of a-linolenic acid (ALA) (combined relative risk (RR) 1.36; 95% CI 1.08
