Abstract:
Background: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) was considered a public health problem. It has been suggested the positive relationship of red and processed meat consumption and the risk of SM. Objective: Realize a systematic review evaluating the association and the amount of red meat and processed in the development of the SM. Material and Methods: A systematic review of the literature (from January 2005 to September 2015) was realized through PubMed database. Inclusion criteria such as: publications of the last 10 years, human studies and the consumption of red meat about the prevalence or incidence of SM. Results: We identified 112 articles based on the keywords used, five of which met the inclusion criteria, three cross-sectional studies and two prospective. It also included a prospective study based on the bibliography of articles. Therefore, the total sample was studied 11,227 men and women between 40-80 years. The results indicate a positive relationship between the consumption of red meat and the risk of provided or developing SM. Comparing those individuals who are in the highest consumption category with respect to the category of low-power (reference category), cross-sectional studies have shown between OR 1.90 (95% CI 1.06 to 3.44) p = 0.023) and 2.3 (95% CI 1.4 to 3.9), p = 0.001). Similarly, prospective studies have shown a risk of incidence of metabolic syndrome among 1.26 (95% CI, 1.11 to 1.43), p = <0.001 and 2.7 (95% CI : 1.1-6.8), p = 0.009). Conclusions: Consumption of red and processed meat, approximately three servings per week, with ratio of 150 grams daily, is associated with a significantly higher prevalence and incidence of MS.
