Meat consumption and all-cause mortality in 5763 patients with inflammatory bowel disease: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Whether meat consumption is related to risk of mortality in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains poorly understood.

Methods

In the UK Biobank, 5763 patients with IBD were recruited from 2007 to 2010 and finished a brief food frequency questionnaire at baseline. We followed them until March 13, 2021 to document all-cause death events. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause mortality associated with consumptions of fish, unprocessed poultry, unprocessed red meat, and processed meat among the patients.

Findings

During 67,095 person-years (mean follow-up 11·7 years, mean age 57·3, 52·5% female), we documented 590 death events. Higher consumption of processed meat was associated with an increased
