Low-Carbohydrate Diet Patterns That Favor High-Quality Carbohydrates Are Associated with Beneficial Long-Term Changes in Biomarkers of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in the Framingham Offspring Cohort
Background
Low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) patterns have been studied as a potential strategy to reduce chronic inflammation. Evidence remains equivocal, likely because of differences in the quality of carbohydrate sources among LCD patterns.
Objectives
To prospectively examine the associations between LCD patterns varying in carbohydrate quality, and changes of inflammation and oxidative stress biomarkers.
Methods
Among Framingham Offspring Study participants (n = 2225; median 6.7-y follow-up, mean baseline age: 60.1 y), we used food frequency questionnaires to create 2 LCD scores (LCDS) accounting for quality of carbohydrates sources. These reflected higher intake of total fat and protein, and lower intake of either low-quality carbohydrates [high-quality LCDS (HQ-LCDS)] or high-quality carbohydrates [low-quality LCDS (LQ-LCDS)]. We calculated an inflammation and oxidative stress score by summing the standardized values of 9 inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers. Least-square mean change in the inflammation and oxidative stress score across quintile categories of LCDS was estimated using multivariable linear regression models, adjusted for potential confounders.
Results
HQ-LCDS was inversely associated with change in the inflammation and oxidative stress score (mean ± SE in Q1: 0.24 ± 0.16, Q5: −0.27 ± 0.16; Ptrend = 0.004), indicating that inflammation and oxidative stress increased in those in the lowest HQ-LCDS category and decreased in those in the highest category. HQ-LCDS was also inversely associated with changes in intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (Ptrend = 0.003) and lipoprotein phospholipase A2 activity (Ptrend = 0.003). No significant associations were observed for LQ-LCDS.
Conclusions
LCD patterns that preserved high-quality carbohydrates while replacing low-quality carbohydrates sources, such as refined grains and added sugars, with fat and protein were inversely associated with inflammation and oxidative stress score, potentially lowering chronic disease risk.
