Abstract Background The association between meat intake and mental disorders are less investigated and the findings are contradicting. We aimed to examine the association between meat intake and depression, anxiety and psychological distress in Iranian adults. Methods This cross-sectional study included 3362 subjects with 18-55 years old. A dish-based 106-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), all validated in Iranian population, were applied to collect data on meat intake, anxiety, depression and psychological distress, respectively. Results The prevalence of depression, anxiety and psychological distress in the study population was 28.6, 13.6 and 22.6%, respectively. After considering potential confounders, individuals in top quartile of red meat intake had 43% increased risk of depression (OR=1.43; 95%CI: 1.09-1.89), compared to the first quartile. No significant relationship was observed between red meat intake and anxiety or psychological distress. White meat intake was not associated with mental disorders. Stratified analysis by gender showed that male participants in the highest quartile of red meat intake had 92% higher risk of depression (95%CI: 1.17-3.15). Red and white meat intake was not associated with mental disorders in women. In overweight or obese individuals, no association was found between red meat intake and mental disorders, while higher intake of white meat was significantly associated with lower odds of psychological distress (OR=0.64; 95%CI: 0.42-0.99) and marginally associated with lower risk of depression (OR= 0.68; 95%CI: 0.45-1.00). In normal weight participants, highest quartile of red meat intake associated with increased odds of depression (OR= 1.66; 95%CI: 1.14-2.42). Conclusions We found that higher intake of red meat was associated with increased risk of depression, especially in males and normal weight participants. In overweight or obese subjects, white meat intake was inversely associated with psychological distress.

Background: The association between meat consumption and mental disorders is less investigated in Iranian population. We examined the association between meat consumption and prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and psychological distress in Iranian adults.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 3,362 participants aged 18–55 years old. A dish-based 106-item semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assess usual dietary intake of study population. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), all validated in Iranian population, were applied to collect data on symptoms of anxiety, depression, and psychological distress, respectively.Results: The prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and psychological distress in the study population was 28.6, 13.6, and 22.6%, respectively. After considering potential confounders, individuals in the top quartile of red meat intake had 43% increased risk of depression symptoms [odds ratio (OR) = 1.43; 95% CI: 1.09–1.89] compared to those in the first quartile. No significant relation was observed between red meat intake and anxiety or psychological distress symptoms. White meat consumption was not associated with mental disorders. Stratified analysis by sex showed that male participants in the highest quartile of red meat intake had 92% greater risk of depression symptoms (95% CI: 1.17–3.15) than those individuals in the lowest category. Red and white meat intake was not associated with mental disorders in women. In overweight or obese individuals, despite lack of any association between red meat intake and mental disorders, high intake of white meat was associated with a lower odds of psychological distress symptoms (OR = 0.64; 95% CI: 0.42–0.99) and a lower risk of depression symptoms (OR = 0.68; 95% CI: 0.45–1.00). In normal-weight participants, those in the highest quartile of red meat intake had greater odds for depression symptoms than those in the lowest quartile (OR = 1.66; 95% CI: 1.14–2.42).Conclusions: We found that red meat consumption was associated with increased risk of depression symptoms, especially in men, and normal-weight participants. In overweight or obese participants, white meat intake was inversely associated with psychological distress symptoms.

Abstract Objectives Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), as the most common liver disease, can range from simple steatosis, i.e., non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL), to hepatocellular fibrosis (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis or NASH). We evaluated the association between meat consumption and the risk of NAFLD in the Golestan Cohort Study (GCS). Methods The GCS enrolled 50,045 participants, aged 40 to 75 years, in Golestan Province, Iran. Dietary information was collected using a 116-item semi-quantitative FFQ at baseline (2004–2008). A random sample of 1612 participants participated in a liver study after a median of 5 years. NAFL were ascertained via ultrasound. We defined NASH as NAFL plus elevated alanine transaminase levels above 45 and 30 IU/L for men and women, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Meat consumption was categorized into quartiles based on the GCS population, with the first quartile as the referent group. Results The median intakes of red and white meat were 17 and 53 grams/day, respectively. During follow-up, 505 individuals (37.7%) were diagnosed with NAFL, and 124 (9.2%) with NASH. High total red meat consumption was associated with higher risk for NAFL (ORQ4 vs Q1 = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.06 to 2.38, p trend = 0.03). The highest quartile of unprocessed meat consumption (OR Q4 vs Q1 = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.13 to 2.66, p trend = 0.16) and organ meat consumption were associated with NAFL (OR Q4 vs Q1 = 1.70, 95% CI = 1.19 to 2.44, p trend = 0.003). High total red meat consumption showed a non-significant association with NASH, but this association was statistically significant for the highest quantile of unprocessed red meat intake (ORQ4 vs Q1 = 2.29, 95% CI = 1.09 to 4.80). Processed meat, total white meat, chicken and fish consumption were not significantly associated with NAFLD. Conclusions This is a population with relatively low consumption of red meat, even so, red meat intake was associated with a higher risk of NAFLD. Furthermore, this is the first study to show a dose-response association between organ meat consumption and NAFL.

Introduction: Red meat consumption has been consistently associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, it remains largely unknown whether changes in red meat intake are related to subsequent T2D risk. Methods: We followed 26,358 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS, 1986-2006), 48,710 women in the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS, 1986-2006) and 74,077 women in NHS II (1991-2007). Diet was assessed by validated food frequency questionnaires and updated every 4 years. Incident T2D was confirmed by a validated supplementary questionnaire. Time-dependent Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate relative risks (RRs) for changes in red meat consumption during a 4-year interval in relation to risk of T2D in the subsequent 4 years, with adjustment for age, family history, race, marital status, initial red meat consumption, initial and changes in other lifestyle factors (physical activity, smoking status, alcohol intake, and dietary quality). The results in the three cohorts were pooled by inverse-variance-weighted random-effects meta-analyses. Results: During 1,965,911 person-years of follow-up, we documented 7,521 incident T2D cases. In the multivariate-adjusted models, increasing red meat intake during a 4-year interval was associated with an increased risk of subsequent 4-year T2D risk in each cohort (all P-trend <0.001), and the pooled RR for one serving/d increment of red meat consumption was 1.30 (95% CI: 1.23, 1.38). The RR was attenuated to 1.20 (95% CI: 1.13, 1.27) after adjustment for baseline body mass index and concurrent weight change. We found significant interaction between initial red meat consumption and changes in red meat consumption with the subsequent risk of T2D; among participants with initial low (<2 servings/wk) or moderate (2-6 servings/wk) levels of red meat consumption, an increase of one serving/d during a 4-year interval was related to an elevated risk of incident T2D in the subsequent 4 years, and the pooled RR was 1.99 (95% CI: 1.47, 2.70) and 1.51 (95% CI: 1.25, 1.81), respectively. However, the association was much weaker (pooled RR 1.16; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.27) in individuals with high initial red meat consumption levels (≥1 serving/d), and the association was not linear in the HPFS and NHS II. Conclusions: Increasing red meat consumption over time is associated with an elevated subsequent risk of T2D, and the association is partly mediated by body weight changes. The association also depends on the initial red meat consumption levels. Our results add further evidence that limiting red meat consumption over time can confer benefits on diabetes prevention.

AbstractFew studies have examined the association of various types of Fe with colorectal cancer risk. The aim of this study was to investigate different forms and sources of Fe in relation to colorectal cancer risk in a Chinese population. A total of 2138 patients with colorectal cancer and 2144 sex- and age-matched (5-year interval) controls were recruited from July 2010 to November 2017. Dietary information was assessed by face-to-face interviews using a validated FFQ. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the OR and 95 % CI on models. Intake of Fe from plants and Fe from white meat were inversely associated with the risk of colorectal cancer, while haem Fe and Fe from red meat were positively associated with colorectal cancer risk. The multivariable OR for the highest quartilev.the lowest quartile were 0·72 (95 % CI 0·59, 0·87,Ptrend<0·001) for Fe from plants, 0·54 (95 % CI 0·45, 0·66,Ptrend<0·001) for Fe from white meat, 1·26 (95 % CI 1·04, 1·53,Ptrend=0·005) for haem Fe and 1·83 (95 % CI 1·49, 2·24,Ptrend<0·001) for Fe from red meat intake, respectively. However, no significant association was found between the consumption of total dietary Fe, non-haem Fe, Fe from meat and colorectal cancer risk. This study showed that lower intake of Fe from plants and white meat, as well as higher intake of haem Fe and Fe from red meat, were associated with colorectal cancer risk in a Chinese population.

Abstract Objectives African Americans have the highest incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) of any racial/ethnic group in the US. High intake of red and processed meats has been shown to increase CRC risk in populations of European ancestry, but evidence in African American populations is limited. The association between saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid intakes, the primary types of fat in red and processed meat, and CRC is inconclusive. Thus, we prospectively assessed the intake of red and processed meats and dietary saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids in relation to CRC risk, utilizing the Black Women's Health Study (BWHS, 1995–2018). Methods Dietary data were derived from validated food frequency questionnaires completed in 1995 and 2001 by 52,695 BWHS participants. Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression adjusted for energy, fiber, and discretionary fat. Results Over a median follow-up of 22 years, 564 women developed incident CRC. Total red meat intake was associated with a 25% increased risk of CRC per 100 g/day (HR = 1.25; 95% CI: 0.94–1.66), which was primarily due to intake of unprocessed red meat (HR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.05–1.70). Processed meat and total saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid intakes were not associated with an increased risk of CRC. Conclusions Unprocessed red meat intake was associated with an increased risk of CRC in this cohort of African American women. The strong evidence, now including African American women, that red meat plays a role in the etiology of CRC suggests opportunities for prevention.

ABSTRACT Current cancer prevention recommendations advise limiting red meat intake to <500g/week and avoiding consumption of processed meat, but do not differentiate the source of processed meat. We examined the associations of processed meat derived from red vs. non-red meats with cancer risk in a prospective cohort of 26,218 adults who reported dietary intake using the Canadian Diet History Questionnaire. Incidence of cancer was obtained through data linkage with Alberta Cancer Registry with median (IQR) follow-up of 13.3 (5.1) years. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were adjusted for covariates and stratified by age and gender. The median (IQR) consumption (g/week) of red meat, processed meat from red meat and processed meat from non-red meat were 267.9 (269.9), 53.6 (83.3), and 11.9 (31.8), respectively. High intakes (4th Quartile) of processed meat from red meat was associated with increased risk of gastro-intestinal cancer Adjusted Hazard Ratio (AHR) (95% CI): 1.68 (1.09 – 2.57) and colorectal cancers AHR (95% CI): 1.90 (1.12 – 3.22), respectively in women. No statistically significant associations were observed for intakes of red meat or processed meat from non-red meat. Results suggests that the carcinogenic effect associated with processed meat intake may be limited to processed meat derived from red meats. The findings provide preliminary evidence toward refining cancer prevention recommendations for red and processed meat intake.

AbstractThe adverse effect of red meat consumption on the risk for CVD is a major population health concern, especially in developing Hispanic/Latino countries in which there are clear trends towards increased consumption. This population-based case–control study examined the associations between total, processed and unprocessed red meat intakes and non-fatal acute myocardial infarction (MI) in Costa Rica. The study included 2131 survivors of a first non-fatal acute MI and 2131 controls individually matched by age, sex and area of residence. Dietary intake was assessed with a FFQ. OR were estimated by using conditional logistic regression. Higher intakes of total and processed red meat were associated with increased odds of acute MI. The OR were 1·31 (95 % CI 1·04, 1·65) and 1·29 (95 % CI 1·01, 1·65) for the highest quintiles of total red meat (median: 110·8 g or 1 serving/d) and processed red meat intake (median: 36·1 g or 5 servings/week), respectively. There were increasing trends in the odds of acute MI with higher total (Ptrend=0·01) and processed (Ptrend=0·02) red meat intakes. Unprocessed red meat intake was not associated with increased odds of acute MI. Substitutions of 50 g of alternative foods (fish, milk, chicken without skin and chicken without fat) for 50 g of total, processed and unprocessed red meat were associated with lower odds of acute MI. The positive association between red meat intake and acute MI in Costa Rica highlights the importance of reducing red meat consumption in middle-income Hispanic/Latino populations.
