Abstract :
Context Given the role of nutrition and food, as well as
environmental pollutants in the probability of developing endometriosis,
this study aimed to identify the risk factors and preventive factors in
a systematic review and meta-analysis. Evidence Acquisition In this
study, available references were searched for the relevant articles
published “between” 2000 - 2015. Among a total of 357 articles extracted
from primary studies, 5 articles were finally selected for
meta-analysis, which were ultimately analyzed for the effect of dietary
factors and risk of endometriosis on 73,102 cases (2,608 cases and
70,494 controls). Results Systematic review and meta-analysis of the
studies indicated that calcium intake OR: 0.99, (95% CI: 0.83 - 1.18),
milk OR: 0.90 (95% CI: 0.65 - 1.23), eggs OR: 1.01(95% CI: 0.81 - 1.28),
bacon OR: 1.26 (95% CI: 0.60 - 2.65), red meat OR: 1.26 (95% CI 0.73 -
2.18), increase the risk of endometriosis. Conclusions Evidence shows a
need to improve the understanding of the impact of dietary components on
the risk of endometriosis to modify and prevent this disease.
Futhermore, more studies are required and recommended to clarify the
role of diet in the incidence and progression of endometriosis.
