Lower Diet Quality Associated with Subclinical Gastrointestinal Inflammation in Healthy United States Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Higher diet quality has been associated with lower risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease, but associations between diet and gastrointestinal (GI) inflammation in healthy adults prior to disease onset are understudied.

Objectives

The purpose of this project was to examine associations between reported dietary intake and markers of GI inflammation in a healthy adult human cohort.

Methods

In a cross-sectional observational trial of 358 healthy adults, participants completed ≤3 unannounced 24-h dietary recalls using the Automated Self-Administered Dietary Assessment Tool and a Block 2014 Food Frequency Questionnaire to assess recent and habitual intake, respectively. Those who provided a stool sample were included in this analysis. Inflammation markers
