Potatoes and all-cause mortality/survival.

Results: Data about potatoes was provided by 6 cohorts. Significant protective effects were found in 2 cohorts (3, 32), and a nonsignificant protective effect was found in a third cohort (1). But significantly increased risks were found in 2 other cohorts (2, 33), though the increased risk was restricted to findings among women only in the first cohort.

Conclusion: Inconsistent findings were done. Inconclusive evidence was found for an association between potatoes and mortality.
