- Green tea consumption is associated with a reduced risk of liver cancer in Japanese adults in a dose-response manner, with a significant effect for ≥7 cups/day.
- The study used data from the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study with 41,999 participants followed from 1988-1990 to 2009, using Cox models to calculate hazard ratios adjusted for various confounders.
- A significant inverse association was found specifically among men, individuals without a history of liver diseases, and current drinkers, with a population-attributable fraction of 7.1% for consuming ≥7 cups daily.
