Red Meat, Renal Function, Race and Other Predictors of Circulating Nitrates.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Increased levels of circulating nitrates were associated with both beneficial and adverse health outcomes in observational and intervention studies. Although more experimental studies are needed to study the underlying mechanisms, it is important to determine the association between multiple dietary and lifestyle factors and circulating nitrates in observation studies to help understand the complicated relationships between circulating nitrates and disease outcomes.

Objective

We plan to determine the associations of red meat, renal function, race, gender, and other lifestyle factors with circulating (urinary and plasma) nitrates.

Methods

Using a cross-sectional design, we analyzed data collected from 5,058 adults (men and women) in the National Health and
