Dose Response Relationship

Background: Evidence suggests that the total bilirubin has a protective effect on coronary heart disease (CHD), but the dose-response relationship remains controversial, and there is no meta-analysis to assess the relationship.Methods: As of October 1, 2021, relevant literature was selected from four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase) by using a retrieval strategy. The dose-response curve between the total bilirubin and CHD was fitted by a restricted cubic spline. Stata 12.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results: A total of 170,209 (6,342 cases) participants from 7 prospective studies were analyzed in our meta-analysis. We calculated the pooled relative risks (RRs) and 95% CIs for the association between serum bilirubin level and risk of CHD using random-effects models. Compared with the first quantile, the bilirubin level in the third quantile had a protective effect on the risk of CHD (RR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.82–0.99). The restricted cubic spline functions depicted a U-type curve relationship between bilirubin (3.42–49 μmol/L) and CHD (Plinear < 0.001). When the bilirubin level was in the range of 3.42–13μmol/L, the protective effect of bilirubin on CHD was enhanced with increasing bilirubin levels. When the bilirubin level exceeded 13μmol/L, the protective effect of bilirubin weakened, and a dangerous effect gradually appeared with further increases in bilirubin levels.Conclusions: Compared with a low bilirubin level, a high bilirubin level has a protective effect on the risk of CHD, and there was a U-shaped dose-response relationship between them.

The Impact

Epidemiological studies on the impact of fish consumption on coronary heart disease (CHD) incidence have shown inconsistent results. In addition, in terms of CHD mortality, although previous meta-analyses showed that fish consumption reduces the risk of CHD, six newly incorporated studies show that fish consumption has no impact on CHD. Therefore, the results still need to be verified. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the impact of fish consumption on CHD incidence and mortality. Relevant studies were identified from PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases up to October 2019. The multivariate-adjusted relative risks (RRs) for the highest versus the lowest fish consumption categories and the 95% confidence intervals were computed with a random-effect model. A restricted cubic spline regression model was used to assess the dose–response relationship between fish consumption and CHD incidence and mortality. Forty prospective cohort studies were incorporated into research. Among them, 22 studies investigated the association between fish consumption and CHD incidence (28,261 cases and 918,783 participants), and the summary estimate showed that higher fish consumption was significantly associated with a lower CHD incidence [RR: 0.91, 95% CI: (0.84, 0.97); I2 = 47.4%]. Twenty-seven studies investigated the association between fish consumption and CHD mortality (10,568 events and 1,139,553 participants), and the summary estimate showed that higher fish intake was significantly associated with a lower CHD mortality [RR: 0.85, 95% CI: (0.77, 0.94); I2 = 51.3%]. The dose–response analysis showed that the CHD incidence and mortality were reduced by 4%, respectively, with a 20 g/day increment in fish consumption. This meta-analysis indicates that fish consumption is associated with a lower CHD incidence and mortality.
