Abstract Objectives Red and processed meats are associated with cardiometabolic disease (CMD) risk; yet, corresponding global burdens are not well established. We aimed to quantify the impact of meat intake on coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes mortality by nation (n = 187), super-region (n = 9), age (20 + y), and sex using the largest standardized Global Dietary Database (GDD) available. Methods A comparative risk assessment model estimated the absolute and % CHD and diabetes mortality attributable to suboptimal unprocessed red and processed meat consumption, incorporating data and corresponding uncertainty on: intakes from the GDD, estimated by a Bayesian hierarchical imputation model using national and sub-national surveys worldwide (266 surveys; 1630,069 individuals; 113/187 countries; 82% of the world's population); etiologic effects of meat intake on CHD and diabetes mortality from meta-analyses of prospective cohorts; optimal population meat intakes based on observed intakes associated with lowest risk; and disease-specific deaths from the Global Burden of Diseases. Results In 2010, suboptimal red meat intake was associated with 43,987 (95% uncertainty interval: 42,243–45,635) diabetes deaths, accounting for 3.5% (3.4–3.6%) of global diabetes mortality. Highest proportional mortality was estimated in Central African Republic, United Arab Emirates, and Gabon (Figure 1). Similar attributable mortality was seen in men (4%) vs women (3%), and higher in younger (25–54 y; 5–7%) vs older (55–85 y; 1–4%) adults. Processed meat intake was linked to 510,214 (482,092–541,175) CHD and 86,923 (83,832–90,488) diabetes deaths, accounting for 7.3% (6.9–7.8%) of global CHD and 6.9% (6.7–7.2%) of diabetes mortality. CHD mortality was highest in Panama, Costa Rica, and Colombia, and diabetes mortality in Panama, Belarus, and El Salvador (Figure 2). Attributable mortality was higher in men vs women (CHD: 9 vs 6%; diabetes: 8 vs 6%), and in younger vs older adults (14–15% vs 4–11%; 12–15% vs 3–9%). Meat-related CMD burdens in 1990 and 2015 will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions Suboptimal processed meat intake contributed to substantial CMD mortality, greatly exceeding burdens attributed to unprocessed red meats. Such data highlight the need for strategies to reduce meat, particularly processed meat, consumption. Funding Sources Gates Foundation. Supporting Tables, Images and/or Graphs

Close economic ties encourage production and trade of meat between Canada, Mexico, and the US. Understanding the patterns of red and processed meat consumption in North America may inform policies designed to reduce meat consumption and bolster environmental and public health efforts across the continent. We used nationally-representative cross-sectional survey data to analyze consumption of unprocessed red meat; processed meat; and total red and processed meat. Generalized linear models were used to separately estimate probability of consumption and adjusted mean intake. Prevalence of total meat consumers was higher in the US (73.6, 95% CI: 72.3–74.8%) than in Canada (65.6, 63.9–67.2%) or Mexico (62.7, 58.1–67.2%). Men were more likely to consume unprocessed red, processed, and total meat, and had larger estimated intakes. In Mexico, high wealth individuals were more likely to consume all three categories of meat. In the US and Canada, those with high education were less likely to consume total and processed meat. Estimated mean intake of unprocessed red, processed, and total meat did not differ across sociodemographic strata. Overall consumption of red and processed meat remains high in North America. Policies to reduce meat consumption are appropriate for all three countries.

Abstract In France, dairy products contribute to dietary saturated fat intake, of which reduced consumption is often recommended for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention. Epidemiological evidence on the association between dairy consumption and CVD risk remains unclear, suggesting either null or inverse associations. This study aimed to investigate the associations between dairy consumption (overall and specific foods) and CVD risk in a large cohort of French adults. This prospective analysis included participants aged ≥ 18 years from the NutriNet-Santé cohort (2009–2019). Daily dietary intakes were collected using 24h-dietary records. Total dairy, milk, cheese, yogurts, fermented and reduced-fat dairy intakes were investigated. CVD cases (n=1,952) included cerebrovascular (n=878 cases) and coronary heart diseases (CHD, n=1,219 cases). Multivariable Cox models were performed to investigate associations. This analysis included n=104,805 French adults (mean age at baseline 42.8 years (SD 14.6)), mean follow-up 5.5 years (SD 3.0, i.e. 579,155 persons years). There were no significant associations between dairy intakes and total CVD or CHD risks. However, the consumption of at least 160 g/d of fermented dairy (e.g. cheese and yogurts) was associated with a reduced risk of cerebrovascular diseases compared to intakes below 57 g/d (HR=0.81 [0.66-0.98], p-trend=0.01). Despite being a major dietary source of saturated fats, dairy consumption was not associated with CVD or CHD risks in this study. However, fermented dairy was associated with a lower cerebrovascular disease risk. Robust randomized controlled trials are needed to further assess the impact of consuming different dairy foods on CVD risk and potential underlying mechanisms.
