A Meta-Analysis on the Association between Tea Consumption and the Risk of Osteoporotic Fractures.

Bone fractures are a significant cause of health impairment. However, observational studies have yielded inconsistent conclusions regarding the correlation between tea consumption and bone fractures.This meta-analysis aims to examine the influence of tea consumption on bone fractures by conducting a comprehensive search of databases such as PubMed, Embase, and others.The meta-analysis utilized STATA software and identified a total of 9 observational studies involving 147 950 participants. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a random effects model.The findings indicate that tea consumption does not exhibit a significant association with the risk of bone fractures. However, further studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to confirm this conclusion.
