Abstract

Background

The relation between consumption of different types of red meats and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains uncertain.

Objective

We evaluated the association between unprocessed and processed red meat consumption and incident T2D in US adults.

Design

We followed 37,083 men in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (1986–2006), 79,570 women in the Nurses’ Health Study I (1980–2008), and 87,504 women in the Nurses’ Health Study II (1991–2005). Diet was assessed by validated food-frequency questionnaires, and data were updated every 4 y. Incident T2D was confirmed by a validated supplementary questionnaire.
