For a large sub-sample (~\u200969,000), dietary intakes were re-measured three or more times using an online, 24-h recall questionnaire.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>On average, participants who reported consuming meat regularly (three or more times per week) had more adverse health behaviours and characteristics than participants who consumed meat less regularly, and most of the positive associations observed for meat consumption and health risks were substantially attenuated after adjustment for body mass index (BMI). In multi-variable adjusted (including BMI) Cox regression models corrected for multiple testing, higher consumption of unprocessed red and processed meat combined was associated with higher risks of ischaemic heart disease (hazard ratio (HRs) per 70\u2009g\/day higher intake 1.15, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) 1.07\u20131.23), pneumonia (1.31, 1.18\u20131.44), diverticular disease (1.19, 1.11\u20131.28), colon polyps (1.10, 1.06\u20131.15), and diabetes (1.30, 1.20\u20131.42); results were similar for unprocessed red meat and processed meat intakes separately. Higher consumption of unprocessed red meat alone was associated with a lower risk of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA: HR per 50\u2009g\/day higher intake 0.80, 95% CIs 0.72\u20130.90). Higher poultry meat intake was associated with higher risks of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (HR per 30\u2009g\/day higher intake 1.17, 95% CIs 1.09\u20131.26), gastritis and duodenitis (1.12, 1.05\u20131.18), diverticular disease (1.10, 1.04\u20131.17), gallbladder disease (1.11, 1.04\u20131.19), and diabetes (1.14, 1.07\u20131.21), and a lower IDA risk (0.83, 0.76\u20130.90).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Higher unprocessed red meat, processed meat, and poultry meat consumption was associated with higher risks of several common conditions; higher BMI accounted for a substantial proportion of these increased risks suggesting that residual confounding or mediation by adiposity might account for some of these remaining associations.
