Red meat consumption, incident cardiovascular disease, and the influence of dietary quality in the Jackson Heart Study
CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort of African American adults, total and processed meat were not associated with CVD outcomes, with the exception that unprocessed red meat was related to greater stroke risk. Dietary quality did not modfiy these associations. Research is needed in similar cohorts with longer follow-up and greater meat consumption to replicate these findings.PMID:35733368 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980022001434
