• AMSTAR 2 |
| Aim | To assess the methodological quality (AMSTAR-2) of systematic reviews of saturated fat or fatty foods on the risk of mortality and major cancer and cardiometabolic outcomes in adults indexed across MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL in the ten years leading to March 30, 2021. |
| Level of Investigation | Descriptive |
| Summary of Findings | From 17 included systematic reviews of saturated fat or fatty foods on the risk of mortality and major cancer and cardiometabolic outcomes in adults indexed across MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL in the ten years leading to March 30, 2021. The methodological quality (AMSTAR-2) of two-thirds of the systematic reviews was critically low to moderate. The main limitations included deficient reporting of study selection, absolute effect estimates, sources of funding, and a priori subgroups to explore heterogeneity. |
