Background: Inflammation may be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cancer. Many studies have reported the relation of specific foods and nutrients to inflammation, but few studies have examined the relation of dietary patterns to inflammatory markers.Objective: We investigated the relation between dietary patterns and circulating high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in Japanese men and women.Design: The subjects were participants in the baseline survey of an ongoing cohort study of lifestyle-related diseases between February 2004 and July 2006. We excluded persons with life-limiting or possible inflammation-related diseases and those using analgesics. After further exclusion of subjects with a CRP concentration > 3 mg/L, 7802 subjects remained in the analysis. The dietary patterns were derived from principal component analysis of the frequency of consumption of 49 food items ascertained by the food-frequency questionnaire.Results: We identified 4 dietary patterns: healthy, high-fat, seafood, and Westernized breakfast patterns. The healthy dietary pattern, characterized by high intakes of vegetables, fruit, soy products, and fish, was significantly and inversely related to hs-CRP concentrations, even after adjustment for age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity in both men and women. Although hs-CRP concentrations were slightly elevated in persons with a high score for the seafood pattern, multivariate-adjusted means did not show a significant trend. Neither the high-fat dietary pattern nor the Westernized breakfast pattern was related to hs-CRP concentrations.Conclusion: The healthy dietary pattern may be related to suppression of inflammation.
