Summary: This umbrella review evaluated the associations between red and processed meat consumption and multiple cancer outcomes. It found that red meat consumption was related to increased risk of various cancers, while processed meat consumption was associated with higher risk of cancer mortality and specific cancer types. Increasing consumption of red and processed meat was found to be linked to higher risks of developing cancer.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the quantity and frequency of meat consumption in Poland, specifically red and processed meat. The findings showed that the consumption of red meat has decreased compared to the previous decades, while processed meat consumption fluctuated. Pork was the most commonly consumed red meat, and processed meat consumption was high, potentially increasing the risk of chronic diseases. Measures should be taken to reduce the consumption of red and processed meat in Poland.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the impact of high red and processed meat intake (RPMI) on colorectal cancer (CRC) risk and compare it with genetically determined risk. The study found that RPMI increases CRC risk regardless of genetic risk. Avoiding RPMI can compensate for a substantial proportion of polygenic risk for CRC.

Summary: This study used Mendelian randomization analysis to evaluate the causal effect of processed and red meat on the risk of common types of cancer. The results suggested that processed meat intake may increase the risk of lung cancer, but there was no strong evidence for an association with other cancers studied. Further research is needed to clarify the findings.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between different types of meat consumption and inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers in overweight and obese women. The results showed that high intake of red and processed meat was positively associated with inflammatory and metabolic markers, while high adherence to white meat intake had negative associations with these markers.

Summary: The human colon is home to a diverse microbiome that has been linked to colorectal carcinogenesis. Specific microbial species, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum and Escherichia coli, have been associated with the development of adenoma and adenocarcinoma in the colon. These microorganisms may promote colon carcinogenesis through mechanisms such as adhering to colon cells, modulating gene expression, and interacting with meat components. Moreover, microbiota analysis may have the potential to improve colorectal cancer detection methods and highlight the influence of diet on CRC progression.

Summary: The global increase in red and processed meat trade has led to a significant rise in diet-related NCDs, with large geographical variations in the burden among countries. Some countries are particularly vulnerable to diet-related NCD incidents and mortality due to large meat imports, while others in Northern and Eastern Europe have seen increased death and disability-adjusted life year rates via meat imports.

Summary: Red meat consumption has different associations with cardiometabolic health in men and women. Unprocessed red meat consumption is more beneficial for women, with stronger positive associations with branched-chain amino acids and lipoproteins, and stronger negative association with glycine. Processed meat has a greater impact on women, with stronger positive associations with branched-chain amino acids, lipoproteins, tyrosine, lactate, glycoprotein acetyls, and stronger negative associations with glutamine and glycine.

Summary: This study found an association between red meat consumption and pancreatic cancer risk, especially in African Americans and Latinos, with NAT2 genotypes potentially modifying this relationship. Further research should be conducted to investigate the underlying mechanisms behind the increased risk in these populations.

Summary: This umbrella review aimed to summarize the associations between red/processed meat consumption and various non-cancer-related outcomes. The results showed that high consumption of red meat, especially processed meat, is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic outcomes. Therefore, it is important to consider the impact of red/processed meat consumption on non-cancer-related outcomes when developing dietary guidelines.

Summary: Evidence suggests that obesity in early adulthood is associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer later in life among the Korean population. Obesity at age 35 was significantly associated with a higher risk of gastric cancer for both men and women. However, no significant associations were found for obesity in late adolescence.

Summary: To assess post-vaccination adverse events, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency established the COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Research Committee, which completed research on 15 adverse events using pseudonymized data. The committee also launched the COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Research Center to continue providing scientific evidence and serve as a model for future epidemics.

Summary: This study indicates that current alcohol drinkers, especially in men, have a higher risk of gastric cancer compared to non-drinkers. The risk of gastric cancer in men is associated with higher alcohol consumption frequency and amount of ethanol intake. Frequent intake of alcohol, even in low quantities, is found to increase the risk of gastric cancer. Further research is needed to explore the detailed relationship between alcohol consumption and gastric cancer risk.

Summary: This study compared the prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders (CMDs) in Korea and the United States (US). The results showed that the prevalence of CMDs was lower in Korea than the US, but the prevalence of dyslipidemia in Korea exceeded that of the US after 2010. The study suggests that preventive strategies are needed to mitigate the prevalence of CMDs in Korea.
