Cohorts in which more than 20% of the sample was younger than 18 years, had a noncardiometabolic disease (such as cancer), or was pregnant at baseline were excluded. Diet assessed before adulthood, participants were asked to recall their diet before adulthood, or dietary assess-ments were completed by proxies, as well as studies that reported on speci?c components of red meat (such as iron or fat) or speci?c types of red meat (such as lamb).
