Meat consumption and incident type 2 diabetes: an individual-participant federated meta-analysis of 1·97 million adults with 100 000 incident cases from 31 cohorts in 20 countries.

Background: Meat consumption could increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. However, evidence is largely based on studies of European and North American populations, with heterogeneous analysis strategies and a greater focus on red meat than on poultry. We aimed to investigate the associations of unprocessed red meat, processed meat, and poultry consumption with type 2 diabetes using data from worldwide cohorts and harmonised analytical approaches.

Dietary Patterns and Cardiovascular Diseases in Asia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

With emerging Asian-derived diet quality indices and data-driven dietary patterns available, we aimed to synthesize the various dietary patterns and quantify its association with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) among Asian populations. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science for observational studies in South, Southeast, and East Asia. Dietary patterns were grouped "high-quality," which included high intakes of three or more of the following food groups: 1) fruits and vegetables, 2) whole grains, 3) healthy protein sources (legumes and nuts, fish and seafood, low-fat dairy, and lean meat and poultry), and 4) liquid plant oils.

Device-Measured Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior in Relation to Cardiovascular Diseases and All-Cause Mortality: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies.

Introduction: This review synthesized evidence from prospective cohort studies on the association of device-measured physical activity and sedentary behavior with cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality among adults.

Methods: Five databases were searched from 2000 through April 29, 2020. Study quality was appraised using the NIH Quality Assessment Tool.

Association between changes in diet quality from mid-life to late-life and healthy ageing: the Singapore Chinese Health Study.

Background: Few studies have evaluated the association between changes in diet quality from mid-life to late-life and healthy ageing.

Methods: We included 12,316 Chinese adults aged 45-74 years at baseline (1993-1998) from the Singapore Chinese Health Study. Diet quality was measured using the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) scores at baseline and follow-up 3 interviews (2014-2016).

Dietary patterns and predicted 10-year cardiovascular disease risk in a multiethnic Asian population.

Background And Aims: Studies examining associations between dietary patterns and Framingham risk score (FRS) and predicted 10-year cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk in an Asian population are lacking. This study aimed to identify a posteriori dietary patterns across three major ethnic groups in Singapore and ascertain their associations with locally modified FRS and predicted 10-year CVD risk.

Methods And Results: This cross-sectional study included 8594 Singapore residents (aged 21-75 years) from the Singapore Multi-Ethnic Cohort.
