A higher intake of total meat was associated with a lower risk of stroke mortality in women

A heavy intake of red meat was also associated with all-cause mortality (Q4: HR, 1.13; 95%CIs, 1.02–1.26) and heart disease mortality (Q4: HR, 1.51; 95%CIs, 1.11–2.06) in men but not in women.

Heavy intake of chicken was inversely associated with cancer mortality in men.

Huh, fascinating that meat seems to be more harmful to men?

Doesn't inversely proportional mean that more heavy intake of chicken correlates with lower cancer mortality in men?

Does that mean it has something to do with excess iron in their systems? As women naturally get rid of a good bit every month but men have no such mechanism.

Testosterone can increase iron absorption. I don't think menstruation plays enough of a role reducing that given how little blood is lost for the average person. I've read about people who have been recommended that they donate blood to lower theirs. So to put some numbers up, most menstruation is between 25-30ml while a blood donation is about 500ml. You can donate blood a little under every two months

Men are designed to fall apart earlier in general
