- Background/Purpose: Mixed results have been reported for the association between meat consumption and the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between red meat, particularly processed meat, and the risk of RA using data from a population-based cohort of women.Methods: We prospectively followed 35,600 women aged 48-83 years from the Swedish Mammography Cohort (SMC), between 2003 and 2014. Meat consumption was assessed with a 96-item self-administered questionnaire in 1997. A corresponding questionnaire data from 1987 was available, enabling identification of long-term meat consumption. The relative risk (RR) of RA associated with meat consumption and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using Cox proportional hazard regression models. Multivariable models were adjusted for age, body mass index, educational level, physical activity, use of dietary supplements, energy intake, and smoking.Results: During the 12 years of follow-up (381 456 person years), 368 new cases of rheumatoid arthritis were identified. Meat consumption was not associated with the development of RA in age-adjusted (RR=0.96 (95% CI: 0.69-1.32)) or multivariable adjusted (RR=1.08 (95%CI: 0.77-1.53)) models (Table 1). No association was observed either for consumption of type-specific meat, such as red meat (RR=1.08 (95% CI: 0.77-1.50)), processed meat (RR=0.84 (95% CI: 0.59-1.22)), or poultry (RR=0.88 (95% CI: 0.60-1.31)). , Women with a consistent long-term consumption of meat of >7 servings/week over a period of 10 years had no increased risk of RA, HR 1.19 (95% CI: 0.78-1.80), compared to women with a consistent consumption of <=4 servings/week.Conclusion: In this large population-based cohort study, meat consumption, in total, by sub-types, or over time, was not associated with the risk of RA development in women.

- A diet rich in nutrients has been suggested to have protective effects against the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Since the traditional Mediterranean diet is high in nutrients, including antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, it is of interest to study as a protective factor against COPD. Our aim was therefore to study its associations with development of COPD using population-based prospective data from the Vasterbotten Intervention Programme (VIP) cohort. Data on diet from 370 individuals, who later visited the Department of Medicine at the University Hospital, Umea, Sweden, with a diagnosis of COPD, were compared to 1432 controls. Adherence to a Mediterranean diet was assessed by a modified version of the Mediterranean diet score (MDS). Cases were diagnosed with COPD 11.1 years (mean) (standard deviation [SD] 4.5 years) after first stating their dietary habits in the VIP at a mean age of 55.5 years (SD 6.6 years). Higher MDS was associated with a higher level of education and not living alone. After adjustment for co-habiting and education level, individuals with an intermediate MDS and those with the highest MDS had a lower odds of developing COPD (odds ratio [OR] 0.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.56-0.95; OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.37-0.86, respectively). These results remained also after adjustment for smoking intensity, i.e., numbers of cigarettes smoked per day (OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.53-0.99; OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.35-0.97), respectively). To conclude, adherence to a Mediterranean-like diet seems to be inversely associated with the development of COPD.

- Background: Conflicting results have been reported regarding the association between consumption of milk and dairy products and the risk for development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between consumption of milk and dairy products and the development of RA in a large population-based cohort of women.Methods: In a prospective cohort study 35,600 women aged 48-83 years, from the Swedish Mammography Cohort (SMC), were followed between 2003 and 2015. Consumption of dairy products was assessed in 1997 at a mean age of mean age of 61.5 years (SD 9.1 years) with a 96-item self-administered questionnaire. The risk (hazard ratio; HR) of RA development associated with consumption of dairy products was estimated using Cox proportional hazard regression models with adjustment for age, alcohol intake, smoking, energy intake, meat and fish consumption.Results: During the follow-up of 12 years, 368 individuals were identified with a new diagnosis of RA. Comparing high consumption with low consumption of dairy products, no association between consumption of dairy products and the development of RA was observed: HR for the fully adjusted model=1.12 (95% CI: 0.78-1.59 (Table 1). Also when evaluating milk and cheese consumption separately, no association with the risk of RA was observed: HR for the highest milk consumption=1.10 (95% CI: 0.82-1.44) and highest cheese consumption HR=1.20 (95% CI: 0.81-1.79), compared with low consumption (fully adjusted models, table 1).Conclusion: In this large population-based cohort study, consumption of dairy products was not associated with risk to develop RA.

- Diet has gained attention as a risk factor for the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), especially with regards to food of animal origin, such as meat and dairy products. By using data from national patient registers and dietary data from a large prospective population cohort, the Swedish Mammography Cohort, we aimed to investigate whether the consumption of meat and dairy products had any impact on the risk of subsequent development of RA. During 12 years of follow-up (January 2003-December 2014; 381, 456 person-years), 368 patients with a new diagnosis of RA were identified. No associations between the development of RA and the consumption of meat and meat products (hazard ratio [HR] for the fully adjusted model: 1.08 [95% CI: 0.77-1.53]) or the total consumption of milk and dairy products (HR for the fully adjusted model: 1.09 [95% CI: 0.76-1.55]) were observed. In conclusion, in this large prospective cohort of women, no associations were observed between dietary intake of meat and dairy products and the risk of RA development.
