In this regard, the current investigation was aimed to estimate the prevalence and concentration of ochratoxin A (OTA) in different types of coffee and coffee-based products with the aid of a systematic review and meta-analysis. Therefore, the recommended databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Embase from January 1983 to October 2018 were screened to retrieve the related citations regarding the concentration and prevalence of OTA in coffee and coffee-based products. Among 1,041 explored articles in the identification step, 36 articles with 3,182 samples were included in the meta-analysis and meta-regression. In the current investigation, for the first time, the effect of socioeconomic parameters such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a poverty ranking, Human Development Index (HDI) beside the annual precipitation was used in the related meta-regression. According to findings, the global pooled concentration and prevalence of OTA was calculated as 3.21 μg/kg (95%CI: 3.08-3.34 μg/kg) and 53.0% (95%CI: 43.0-62.0), respectively. Also, a significant correlation between the increases in poverty as well as the amount of annual precipit...
