Eating meat may increase heart disease risk
A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine suggests that processed meat consumption may increase heart disease risk by nearly 2%.
A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine suggests that processed meat consumption may increase heart disease risk by nearly 2%. Unprocessed red meat was also shown to increase risk, but only by less than 1%.
The researchers reviewed the dietary data of 29,682 U.S. adults pooled from six prospective cohort studies over 19 years. They also looked at the incidence of various forms of heart disease in the study population, including coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart failure, as well as deaths caused by these conditions.
The researchers found that intake of processed meat, unprocessed red meat, or poultry was significantly associated with incidences of cardiovascular disease, but fish intake was not. They also found that consumption of processed meat or unprocessed red meat was significantly associated with all-cause mortality. In this case, the intake of poultry or fish had no impact on all-cause mortality.
“These findings have important public health implications and should warrant further investigations,” concluded the researchers.
