Figure 1.
Figure 1.
Relative risk estimates for all-cause mortality from all large, published cohort studies of unselected populations (recording at least 2000 deaths) by levels of unprocessed red meat intake. Relative risks and 95% confidence intervals (shaded areas) are plotted on the y-axes, and red meat intake (g/d) on the x-axes. Global, European, Asian, and North American studies are shown in panels a, b, c, and d, respectively. Regional location, gender, first author, and year of publication are indicated for each cohort study. Full reference details are provided in the Supplementary Material.
