摘要

Purpose

While individual n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) exhibited distinct mechanisms in attenuating colorectal cancer (CRC) progression, their prospective associations with CRC risk remain inconsistent. This study aimed to determine the dose-response relationships between total and individual n-3 PUFAs and incident CRC.

Methods

We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library though April 2024 for pertinent prospective cohorts assessing dietary or blood-based n-3 PUFAs in relation to CRC risk. The shape of nonlinear dose-response relationships was modeled using one-stage random-effects meta-analyses. Study-specific risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for per unit increase in PUFAs exposure were pooled to assess the strength of linear trends using random-effects inverse-variance weighting meta-analyses.

Results

Twenty-six cohorts were included, comprising 18 dietary cohorts (19,763 events and 1,663,721 participants) and 8 biomarker cohorts (3,443 events and 14,316 participants). Each 100-mg/day increase in EPA intake was slightly associated with 5% reductions in CRC risk (RR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.91-1.00), whereas no significant association was observed for DHA. A strong inverse linear trend was observed for per 1% increase in circulating LC n-3 PUFA levels (p for linearity < 0.001), with a pooled RR of 0.86 (95% CI: 0.80–0.92) for EPA and 0.95 (95% CI: 0.91–0.99) for DHA.

Conclusion

Circulating EPA levels demonstrated a significant inverse dose-dependent association with CRC risk. These findings suggest that increasing intake of EPA through diet or supplementation to elevate PUFAs’ levels in circulating may contribute to preventing against the incident CRC.
