Background and aims: Little is known about the role that red meat and processed red meat (RM) consumption plays in the development of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). %26lt;br%26gt;The aim was to assess the relationship between RM consumption and the prevalence or incidence of the Met S and its components in a Mediterranean population at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Methods and results: Cross-sectional analyses were carried out at baseline and at 1-year follow-up and longitudinal analysis were conducted in a cohort of individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease from the PREDIMED study. A 137-item validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose and lipid profile were evaluated both at baseline and after 1-year follow-up. The MetS was defined in accordance with the updated ATP III criteria. %26lt;br%26gt;Subjects in the upper quartile of RM consumption were more likely to meet the criteria for the MetS at baseline (OR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.4-3.9; P-trend=0.001) and after 1-year follow-up (OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.3-3.7; P-trend=0.034) compared with those in the quartile of reference, even after adjusting for potential confounders. %26lt;br%26gt;The longitudinal analyses showed that individuals in the fourth quartile of RM consumption had an increased risk of MetS (OR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.1-6.8; P-trend=0.009) or central obesity incidence (OR, 8.1; 95% CI, 1.4-46.0; P-trend=0.077) at the end of the follow-up compared to the lowest quartile. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusions: Higher RM consumption is associated with a significantly higher prevalence and incidence of MetS and central obesity in individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease.
