White meat and cardiovascular disease.

Data was provided by 2 cohorts. High white meat consumption significantly increased CVD mortality among men in one cohort. The trend, but not the effect was significant. And the significance of this trend was driven by the fact that risks were < 1 for the 2nd-4th quintile of consumption (Sinha R [22]). A nonsignificant protective effect against CHD risk was found in the other cohort (Hu FB [6]).
Effect modification: High white meat consumption significantly increased CVD mortality among both male and female nonsmokers (Sinha R [22]).

Conclusion: Inconsistent effects were found. Inconclusive evidence was found for an association between total white meat consumption and CVD.
