“…Most importantly, red meat consumption largely mediates its effect on LVM and left atrial size by BP elevation, and the effect size seems to be dependent on the duration of exposure. This is in part supported by recent prospective findings from the Nurses’ Health and Health Professionals Follow-up Study showing an increased risk of hypertension after long-term meat intake [42]. Thus, our study period may not have been long enough to observe pronounced changes in LVM or left atrial size.…”

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate whether red meat consumption is related to changes in left ventricular mass (LVM), left atrial diameter and carotid atherosclerosis in American Indians. Methods We prospectively analyzed echocardiographic and carotid ultrasound data of 1090 adults aged 40 years and older enrolled in the Strong Heart Family Study who were free of cardiovascular disease at baseline – 535 (49%) were hypertensive and 555 (51%) participants were nonhypertensive. Processed and unprocessed red meat intake was ascertained by using a Block food-frequency questionnaire at baseline. Cardiac and vascular biomarkers were assessed at baseline and 4 years later. Marginal models with multivariate adjustment were used to assess the associations of red meat intake with LVM, left atrial diameter, intima–media thickness and presence and extent of carotid atherosclerosis. Results Participants with hypertension were older, had a higher BMI, were more likely to be diabetic and less physically active. Processed and unprocessed red meat consumption was related to an increase in the presence of atherosclerotic plaques in male and female hypertensive individuals. In male hypertensive participants, processed meat intake was further observed to be associated with an increase in intima–media thickness, atrial diameter but not LVM. In nonhypertensive participants, neither unprocessed nor processed red meat intake was associated with changes in cardiac parameters or carotid atherosclerosis. Conclusion Over a 4-year period, red meat consumption was related to cardiovascular target organ damage in hypertensive American Indians. These findings emphasize the importance of dietary measures for cardiovascular disease prevention.

“…Four prospective studies were included in the meta-analysis for consumption of whole grains ( 24 – 27 ), 3 studies for refined grains ( 25 – 27 ), 8 for vegetables (6 reports) ( 27 – 32 ), 7 for fruits (5 reports) ( 27 , 28 , 30 – 32 ), 4 for nuts ( 27 , 33 – 35 ), 6 for legumes (4 reports) ( 27 , 28 , 34 , 36 ), 1 for eggs ( 34 ), 9 for dairy products ( 27 , 37 – 44 ), 8 for fish (6 reports) ( 27 , 34 , 38 , 45 – 47 ), 7 for red meat (5 reports) ( 34 , 38 , 45 , 48 , 49 ), 5 for processed meat (3 reports) ( 45 , 48 , 49 ), and 5 for SSBs (3 reports) ( 27 , 50 , 51 ) ( Supplemental Tables 2–13 ).…”

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to summarize the evidence on the relation of the intakes of 12 major food groups, including whole grains, refined grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, eggs, dairy, fish, red meat, processed meat, and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) with the risk of hypertension. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched systematically until June 2017 for prospective studies having quantitatively investigated the above-mentioned foods. We conducted meta-analysis on the highest compared with the lowest intake categories and linear and nonlinear dose-response meta-analyses to analyze the association. Summary RRs and 95% CIs were estimated by using a random-effects model. Overall, 28 reports were included in the meta-analysis. An inverse association for the risk of hypertension was observed for 30 g whole grains/d (RR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.87, 0.98), 100 g fruits/d (RR: 0.97; 95% CI: 0.96, 0.99), 28 g nuts/d (RR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.45, 1.08), and 200 g dairy/d (RR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.94, 0.97), whereas a positive association for 100 g red meat/d (RR: 1.14; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.28), 50 g processed meat/d (RR: 1.12; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.26), and 250 mL SSB/d (RR: 1.07; 95% CI: 1.04, 1.10) was seen in the linear dose-response meta-analysis. Indication for nonlinear relations of the intakes of whole grains, fruits, fish, and processed meats with the risk of hypertension was detected. In summary, this comprehensive dose-response meta-analysis of 28 reports identified optimal intakes of whole grains, fruits, nuts, legumes, dairy, red and processed meats, and SSBs related to the risk of hypertension. These findings need to be seen under the light of very-low to low quality of meta-evidence. However, the findings support the current dietary guidelines in the prevention of hypertension.

“…Our ndings also indicate that animal protein consumption declined and plant protein consumption increased along with higher adherence to DDRRS. Red and processed meat intake has been directly associated with risk of hypertension [32] and CKD [11]. However, intake of nuts had a protective impact on CKD risk [11].…”

Aims: To examine the association of dietary diabetes risk reduction score (DDRRS) with chronic kidney disease (CKD) among an Iranian population.Methods: We followed-up 2076 ≥ 20 years old participants of Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (2006-2008), who were initially free of CKD for 5.98 years. Dietary diabetes risk reduction score was calculated on the basis of scoring eight components using a valid and reliable 168-item food frequency questionnaire. CKD was deﬁned as estimated glumerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. A Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to assess association between the quartiles of DDRRS and incidence of CKD.Results: Mean ± SD age of the study population (53% women) was 37.6 ± 12.61 years. A total of 357 incident cases of CKD were reported. The median (25-75 interquartile range) of DDRRS was 20 (18-22). After adjustment for age, sex, smoking status, total energy intake, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, eGFR, and physical activity, individuals in the highest versus lowest quartile of DDRRS were 33% less likely to have CKD (OR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.48-0.96, P for trend: 0.043).Conclusion: Our findings suggest an inverse association between DDRRS and risk of incident CKD in the fourth versus first quartile of DDRRS.
