Study Design:
This overview article contained 18 studies (case-control and cohort) with 1228327 participants.
Results and conclusions:
The researchers found that a high red meat consumption compared to a low, the chance of getting stomach cancer significantly with 37% [95% CI = 1.18-1.59, I2 = 67.6%, p 0.001] increased.
The researchers found in case-control studies that high red meat consumption compared to a low, the chance of getting stomach cancer significantly with 58% [95% CI = 1.22-2.06, I2 = 73.0%, p 0.001] increased.
The researchers found no association between cohort studies in a high red meat consumption and getting stomach cancer [RR = 1.00, 95% CI = 0.83-1.20, I2 = 33.9%, p 0.158] increased.
The researchers found that 100 grams of red meat per day the chances of getting stomach cancer significantly with 17% [RR = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.05-1.32] increased and the risk increased as consumption increased.
The researchers concluded that eating lots of red meat increased the chance of getting stomach cancer.
