Food group intakes and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein among community-dwelling Japanese adults: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Healthy dietary patterns have been linked to lower levels of chronic inflammation. The present study aimed to investigate the associations between food group intakes and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) among community-dwelling adults.

Design

Cross-sectional.

Setting

Three areas in Japan (Shiga, Fukuoka, or Kyushu and Okinawa).

Participants

The present analysis included 13 648 participants (5126 males and 8522 females; age range, 35-69 years) who had been enrolled in the baseline survey of the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Study. Food group intakes were estimated using a FFQ. Multiple linear regression was used to examine associations between the quartiles of each energy-adjusted food group intake and log-transformed hsCRP.
