Abstract
Background: Evidence for a potential link between dietary inflammatory potential and inflammatory bowel disease is limited, and the moderating role of genetic susceptibility remains to be assessed.
Objective: To evaluate energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E-DII) for the associations with incident Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) and the role of genetic susceptibility.
Methods: A total of 205,706 UK Biobank participants who were aged 39-72 years and had no known CD or UC at baseline (2006-2010) were included. The E-DII score was calculated based on energy-adjusted average intakes of 33 food or nutrient items derived from up to five 24-hour dietary recalls. Multivariable Cox regression models were used estimate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for incident CD and UC.
Results: During a median 12.3 years of follow-up, 382 incident CD and 798 incident UC cases were ascertained. A higher E-DII score was not associated with risk of CD (HR Q4 VS. Q1 = 1.28, 95% CI: 0.94-1.74; P-trend = 0.09) or UC (HR Q4 VS. Q1 = 1.10, 95% CI: 0.90-1.36; P-trend = 0.17). There was an interaction between the E-DII and the polygenic risk score (PRS) for CD on incident CD (P-interaction = 0.023), with an association only among participants with a high PRS (HR Q4 VS. Q1 = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.03-2.61) (P-interaction = 0.023). As compared with the participants with a low PRS for CD and a low E-DII score, participants with high levels of both scores had a particularly higher risk of CD (HR = 3.12; 95% CI: 1.74-5.60).
Conclusions: The association of dietary inflammatory potential with incident CD appears to be amplified by high genetic susceptibility to CD.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition & Metabolism publishes studies with a clear focus on nutrition and metabolism with applications ranging from nutrition needs, exercise physiology, clinical and population studies, as well as the underlying mechanisms in these aspects.
The areas of interest for Nutrition & Metabolism encompass studies in molecular nutrition in the context of obesity, diabetes, lipedemias, metabolic syndrome and exercise physiology. Manuscripts related to molecular, cellular and human metabolism, nutrient sensing and nutrient–gene interactions are also in interest, as are submissions that have employed new and innovative strategies like metabolomics/lipidomics or other omic-based biomarkers to predict nutritional status and metabolic diseases.
Key areas we wish to encourage submissions from include:
-how diet and specific nutrients interact with genes, proteins or metabolites to influence metabolic phenotypes and disease outcomes;
-the role of epigenetic factors and the microbiome in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases and their influence on metabolic responses to diet and food components;
-how diet and other environmental factors affect epigenetics and microbiota; the extent to which genetic and nongenetic factors modify personal metabolic responses to diet and food compositions and the mechanisms involved;
-how specific biologic networks and nutrient sensing mechanisms attribute to metabolic variability.
