Summary: Ecological data indicate an increase in meat intake in Asian countries; however, our pooled analysis did not provide evidence of a higher risk of mortality for total meat intake and provided evidence of an inverse association with red meat, poultry, and fish/seafood. Red meat intake was inversely associated with CVD mortality in men and with cancer mortality in women in Asian countries.
Key Takeaways
Increased red meat consumption was not associated with increased mortality in Asian countries. Additionally increased red meat led to less risk of mortality from heart disease and cancer.
