RESULTS: In total, 14 meta-analyses were included in the umbrella review. Only 4 out of 14 reported an AMSTAR score ≥8 (high methodological quality), whereas NutriGrade meta-evidence score varied between 2 (very low meta-evidence) and 7.9 (moderate meta-evidence). There is consistent evidence from intervention trials, reporting significant reductions for total cholesterol, and from observational studies that higher intakes of nuts were associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and hypertension. On the other side no effect could be observed for stroke, HDL-cholesterol, and blood pressure in the normal range.
CONCLUSION: In summary, the present umbrella review showed that nuts intake was associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and hypertension, and lower levels of total cholesterol. The observed evidence is limited by the moderate methodological quality and very low to moderate quality of evidence. -
