Abstract

The associations of tea consumption with risk of oral cancer remain not clear. The present meta-analysis aims to clarify the real relationship between tea intake and the risk of oral cancer and quantifies the potential dose-response relationship between them.A Web search was performed within Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science databases to identify potential studies that evaluated the relationship between tea consumption and the risk of oral cancer on Mar 21th, 2018 without language restriction. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted and combined to evaluate the strength of associations. Dose-response analysis was performed to quantitate the relationship between tea intake and risk of oral cancer.Total 14 articles were included in the final analysis. The pooled OR for evaluating the risk of oral cancer and tea intake was 0.700 (95% CI = 0.609-0.805, P <.001). The linearity model of dose-response analysis indicated that with increased 1 cup daily, the risk of oral cancer decreased by 6.2% degree (OR = 0.938, 95% CI = 0.922-0.955, P <.001). Subgroup analysis indicated an inverse association between tea intake and the risk of oral cancer except subgroup analysis of black tea and American people.These results suggest tea intake provides protection against oral cancer carcinogenesis. Additionally, more large-scale pooling and high-quality studies are necessary for detecting the precise relationship between tea intake and oral cancer risk in the future.
