A high dietary acid load can potentially exacerbate cardiometabolic risk factors: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

Aims: Chronic metabolic acidosis has been shown to be associated with cardiometabolic risk factors. The aim of the currently updated meta-analysis was to explore the association between Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL) and Net Endogenous Acid Production (NEAP) with these risk factors.

Data Synthesis: Databases were searched up to May 2023.
