    Meat consumption and risk of incident dementia

    Meat consumption and risk of incident dementia: cohort study of 493,888 UK Biobank participants

    ABSTRACT
    Background
    Worldwide, the prevalence of dementia is increasing and diet as a modifiable factor could play a role. Meat consumption has been cross-sectionally associated with dementia risk, but specific amounts and types related to risk of incident dementia remain poorly understood.

    Objective
    We aimed to investigate associations between meat consumption and risk of incident dementia in the UK Biobank cohort.

    Methods
    Meat consumption was estimated using a short dietary questionnaire at recruitment and repeated 24-h dietary assessments. Incident all-cause dementia comprising Alzheimer disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VD) was identified by electronic linkages to hospital and mortality records. HRs for each meat type in relation to each dementia outcome were estimated in Cox proportional hazard models. Interactions between meat consumption and the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele were additionally explored.

    Results
    Among 493,888 participants included, 2896 incident cases of all-cause dementia, 1006 cases of AD, and 490 cases of VD were identified, with mean ± SD follow-up of 8 ± 1.1 y. Each additional 25 g/day intake of processed meat was associated with increased risks of incident all-cause dementia (HR: 1.44; 95% CI: 1.24, 1.67; P-trend < 0.001) and AD (HR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.18, 1.96; P-trend = 0.001). In contrast, a 50-g/d increment in unprocessed red meat intake was associated with reduced risks of all-cause dementia (HR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.69, 0.95; P-trend = 0.011) and AD (HR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.53, 0.92; P-trend = 0.009). The linear trend was not significant for unprocessed poultry and total meat. Regarding incident VD, there were no statistically significant linear trends identified, although for processed meat, higher consumption categories were associated with increased risks. The APOE ε4 allele increased dementia risk by 3 to 6 times but did not modify the associations with diet significantly.

    Conclusion
    These findings highlight processed-meat consumption as a potential risk factor for incident dementia, independent of the APOE ε4 allele.

    Fake news. These studies have nothing to do with reality about meat. A dietary questionnaire, how accurate. It's not the meat, it's all the crap you eat with it.

    I think it was Colorado's governor that just declared I think yesterday 'Meat Out' or something like that where nobody is supposed to eat meat. Backfired big time and got a lot of criticism. Especially from the huge beef contingent in CO. Liberals can't see beyond the nose on their face.

    Check out the paragraph on how this was determined:

    Yeah, that unscientific.

    And rather communist in the attempt at making us vegetarians just because they are. I'm glad it bombed.
