This study investigated the cross-sectional association between an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant dietary pattern and diabetes in the National Diet and Nutrition Survey rolling programme Years 1-4. A total of 1531 survey members provided dietary data. Reduced Rank Regression was used to derive an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant dietary pattern. Serum C-reactive protein and plasma carotenoids were selected as response variables and markers of inflammation and antioxidant status, respectively. Overall, 52 survey members had diabetes. The derived anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant dietary pattern was inversely related to C-reactive protein and positively to carotenoids. It was associated with lower odds of diabetes (multivariate adjusted OR for highest compared with lowest quintile: 0.17; 95%CI: 0.04-0.73; P for linear trend=0.013). In conclusion, an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant dietary pattern is inversely related to diabetes. Further research is required to understand the overall framework within which foods and nutrients interact to affect metabolic pathways related to diabetes risk.
