Ann M. Vuong (Epidemiology and Biostatistics) recently published an article on the "Effects of β-Carotene Intake on the Risk of Fracture: a Bayesian Meta-Analysis" in the journal BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders. The authors conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association between β-carotene intake and risk of fracture. They systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane library databases for relevant articles that were published until December 2019. They also identified studies from reference lists of articles identified from the clinical databases. The frequentist and Bayesian random-effects model was used to synthesize data.
