Dietary inflammatory index and metabolic syndrome in US children and adolescents: evidence from NHANES 2001-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An increasing number of children and adolescents are affected by metabolic syndrome (MetS). Dietary inflammatory index (DII) was associated with MetS in adult population. This study aimed to determine the associations between DII scores, MetS, and MetS components among children and adolescents.

Methods

Data of children and adolescents in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database 2001-2008 were obtained. DII was calculated for each participant based on the 24-h dietary recall interview. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were conducted to determine the associations between DII, the other study variables and abnormal MetS components.

Results

A total of 5,656 US children and adolescents (mean age = 15.49) in the 2001-2018 NHANES database were included. After adjusting for all confounders in the multivariate analysis, the top DII quartile was significantly and independently associated with increased odds of high blood pressure (BP) (aOR = 2.27, 95% CI: 1.02-5.07) as compared with the lowest DII quartile. DII in quartile 2, 3 or 4 were not significantly associated with increased odds of MetS, high waist circumference (WC), low high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c), triglyceride (TG) or fasting plasma glucose (FPG) as compared with the lowest quartile. In stratified analysis by recommended physical activity level for children and adolescents, no significant association was observed between higher DII and MetS.

Conclusions

Among US children and adolescents, high DII is associated with prevalent high BP but not MetS. The finding may contribute to future policymaking in promoting children's health.

Project description:BackgroundOver the past 2 decades, there has been an increased emphasis on added sugars intake in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), which has been accompanied by policies and interventions aimed at reducing intake, particularly among children, adolescents, and teens.ObjectivesThe present study provides a comprehensive time-trends analysis of added sugars intakes and contributing sources in the diets of US children, adolescents, and teens (2-18 years) from 2001-2018, focusing on variations according to sociodemographic factors (age, sex, race and ethnicity, income), food assistance, and health-related factors (physical activity level, body weight status).MethodsData from 9 consecutive 2-year cycles of the NHANES were combined and regression analyses were conducted to test for trends in added sugars intake and sources from 2001-2018 for the overall age group (2-18 years) and for 2 age subgroups (2-8 and 9-18 years). Trends were also examined on subsamples stratified by sex, race and ethnicity (Hispanic, non-Hispanic Asian, non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic White), income (household poverty income ratio), food assistance, physical activity level, and body weight status.ResultsFrom 2001-2018, added sugars intakes decreased significantly (P < 0.01), from 15.6% to 12.6% kcal among children (2-8 years) and from 18.4% to 14.3% kcal among adolescents and teens (9-18 years), mainly due to significant declines in added sugars from sweetened beverages, which remained the top source. Declines in added sugars intakes were observed for all strata, albeit to varying degrees.ConclusionsDeclines in added sugars intakes were observed among children, adolescents, and teens from 2001-2018, regardless of sociodemographic factors, food assistance, physical activity level, or body weight status, but variations in the magnitudes of decline suggest persistent disparities related to race and ethnicity and to income. Despite these declines, intakes remain above the DGA recommendation; thus, continued monitoring is warranted.

Project description:Background&aimsGastrointestinal (GI) cancers, including gastric, liver, esophageal, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers, represent significant global health burdens. Emerging evidence suggests that dietary patterns, particularly their inflammatory and oxidative properties, may influence cancer risk. The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and Dietary Oxidative Balance Score (DOBS) assess the inflammatory and oxidative effects of diets, respectively. This study aims to explore the association between DII, DOBS, and the combined risk of GI cancers, and investigates the potential mediating roles of serum albumin and red cell distribution width (RDW).MethodsData from 26,320 participants in the NHANES 2005-2018 cycles were analyzed. DII was calculated based on 28 dietary components, and DOBS included 17 nutrients (3 pro-oxidants and 14 antioxidants). Logistic regression models assessed the associations between DII, DOBS, and GI cancers. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models examined dose-response relationships. Mediation analysis evaluated the roles of serum albumin and RDW. Subgroup analyses explored interactions with demographic and health-related factors.ResultsHigher DII was associated with increased GI cancer risk (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.07-1.49 per unit increase), while higher DOBS was associated with reduced risk (OR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.76-0.99 per unit increase). RCS analysis indicated a significant nonlinear relationship between DII and GI cancer risk. Serum albumin and RDW partially mediated the associations between DII, DOBS, and GI cancers. Subgroup analyses showed stronger associations for DII among certain demographics, and significant interactions were found between DII and BMI. For DOBS, significant interactions were observed with age and BMI.ConclusionThis study reveals significant associations between dietary inflammatory and oxidative balance scores and GI cancer risk. Higher DII is linked to increased risk, while higher DOBS is protective. The mediating roles of serum albumin and RDW provide insights into underlying mechanisms. These findings underscore the potential of dietary modifications in GI cancer prevention and management, emphasizing the importance of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich diets.

Project description:BackgroundThis cross-sectional study aims to explore the interactive effects of the Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index (CDAI) and Body Mass Index (BMI) on stroke risk among U.S. adults, utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2001 and 2018.MethodsThe analysis involved 42,042 participants from a representative sample of non-institutionalized U.S. civilians, selected through a stratified, multistage probability sampling method. Dietary intake data were collected over two 24-h periods using the Automated Multiple-Pass Method. The study calculated a modified CDAI to assess dietary antioxidant intake, excluding supplements and water sources. Statistical methods included multivariable logistic regression and Generalized Additive Models (GAM) to evaluate the interaction between CDAI scores and BMI in relation to stroke risk, adjusting for a wide range of demographic, lifestyle, and health covariates.ResultsThe research identified a significant interaction between CDAI scores and BMI categories in stroke risk assessment. While a negative correlation was observed between CDAI scores and stroke risk across the total population (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.96-0.99), this relationship varied notably across different BMI groups. In participants with a BMI ≥25, a statistically significant negative association persisted, displaying a non-linear pattern. The study also revealed an inflection point in the CDAI score, indicating a shift in the relationship between dietary antioxidants and stroke risk.ConclusionThis study underscores the complex interaction between dietary antioxidant intake and BMI in determining stroke risk among U.S. adults. The findings suggest that individuals with higher BMI may experience more pronounced benefits from dietary antioxidants in stroke prevention. These insights could inform targeted dietary recommendations and public health strategies aimed at reducing stroke risk, particularly in populations with higher BMI. Further research is needed to fully understand these interactions and their implications for stroke prevention guidelines.

Project description:BackgroundDyslipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD). The composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI), an emerging measure of combined dietary antioxidant exposure, may provide insights into the relationship between diet and CVD/ASCVD outcomes. We aimed to explore the association between CDAI and the prevalence of CVD/ASCVD, as well as CVD mortality in individuals with dyslipidemia.MethodsCDAI was assessed by integrating dietary vitamins A, C, E, zinc, selenium, and carotenoids. Dyslipidemia was diagnosed according to widely established criteria. Data on CVD/ASCVD were obtained through self-reports, while CVD mortality was obtained through prospective matching participant records with the National Death Index database. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were used to explore these associations and to calculate odds ratios [OR], hazard ratios [HR], and 95% confidence intervals [CI], respectively.ResultsA total of 23,126 participants with dyslipidemia from NHANES 2001-2018 were included. After adjusting for potential confounders, CDAI was inversely associated with the prevalence of both CVD and ASCVD in dyslipidemia populations (OR and 95% CI 0.979 (0.964, 0.995) and 0.977 (0.961, 0.993), respectively). Similar associations were observed between CDAI and specific types of CVD. CDAI was also inversely associated with CVD mortality in dyslipidemia participants (HR = 0.957, 95% CI = 0.939-0.976, p < 0.0001). Restricted cubic spline and threshold effects analyses indicated that CDAI was nonlinearly associated with CVD/ASCVD, with significant associations occurring only when CDAI≤0; however, the association of CDAI with CVD mortality was observed only when CDAI > -2. Furthermore, age, sex, and drinking were found to modify the association of CDAI with CVD/ASCVD, while body mass index influenced the relationship between CDAI and CVD mortality.ConclusionCDAI was inversely and nonlinearly associated with both CVD/ASCVD events and CVD mortality in dyslipidemic populations. These findings highlight the potential of antioxidant dietary patterns to alleviate the CVD burden in these populations and underscore the importance of personalized strategies.
