Burden of Breast Cancer Attributable to a Diet High in Red Meat at Global, Regional, and National Levels: An Analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021

Although ASMR and ASDR have declined, the absolute burden of breast cancer due to high red meat intake remains significant, particularly in aging and rapidly urbanizing populations. Policy interventions should include taxation on red meat, restrictions on processed meat, and public health campaigns promoting dietary modifications. Targeted screening programs in high-risk regions, especially for middle-aged and elderly populations, are critical for mitigating the future disease burden.
