Background: Studies shows inconsistent associations of nitrite and nitrate intake with the risk of gastric cancer or its associated mortality. A meta-analysis of observational studies was carried out to evaluate the correlation of nitrite and nitrate intake with the risk of gastric cancer. .Material and Methods: We searched for studies reporting effect estimates and its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of gastric cancer in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library throughout November 2018. The summary results of the included studies were pooled using a random-effects model..Results: Eighteen case-control and 6 prospective cohort studies recruiting 800,321 participants were included in this study. The summary results indicated the highest (odds ratio [OR], 1.27; 95%CI, 1.03–1.55; P=0.022) or moderate (OR: 1.12; 95%CI, 1.01–1.26; P=0.037) nitrite intake were associated with a higher risk of gastric cancer. However, we noted that high (OR, 0.81; 95%CI, 0.68–0.97; P=0.021) or moderate (OR, 0.86; 95%CI, 0.75–0.99; P=0.036) nitrate intakes were associated with a reduced risk of gastric cancer. These associations differed when stratified by publication year, study design, country, the percentage of male participants, assessment of exposure, adjusted model, and study quality. .Conclusion: High or moderate nitrite intake was associated with higher risk of gastric cancer, whereas high or moderate nitrate intakes were correlated with lower risk of gastric cancer. .
