Participants in the study were 40 to 80 years old and were tested for consumption of carboxymethyl lysine and advanced glycation end-products from 216 foods. Consumption amounts did not differ much among groups.

Researchers believe meat’s advanced glycation end-products and pro-oxidant compounds may explain the association.
