Association Between Meat Consumption and Cancer Mortality in Korean Adults

A 2026 analysis of data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) cohort, authored by In Sun Ryou. The dataset likely contains results from Cox proportional hazards models investigating associations between various meat types and site-specific cancer mortality among Korean adults.

Use Cases

• Analyze sex-specific associations between meat subtypes and cancer mortality based on the stratified analyses mentioned.
• Investigate the relationship between organ meat consumption and pancreatic or breast cancer mortality in women, as described in the results.
• Examine the inverse association between red meat consumption and gastric cancer mortality in men, as reported in the study.
• Validate or compare findings on meat and cancer mortality in an Asian population cohort.

Strengths

• Data sourced from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES), a large population-based cohort.
• Analyses adjusted for major demographic, lifestyle, and dietary factors.
• Results include hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals from Cox models.
• Released under a CC-BY-4.0 license for open reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (55.1 KB), suggesting it may contain summary results rather than raw cohort data.
