Abstract
Background: The role of diet on the risk of chronic pancreatitis (CP) is understudied. The health benefits of the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) pattern have long been recognized, but its association with CP risk is unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between adherence to MedDiet and the incidence of CP in a large-scale cohort. Methods: 190 790 participants from the UK Biobank were involved, all free of CP and with typical diet recall data at recruitment. The diagnosis of CP was ascertained by the combination of hospital inpatient data, primary care data, and death registry data. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to evaluate the associations between MedDiet adherence, measured by the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS) continuous score, and the incidence of CP. The mediating role of inflammation (assessed by C-reactive protein) and metabolic status between MedDiet adherence and CP risk was also investigated. Results: During a mean of 10.8 years of follow-up, 214 participants developed CP. Individuals with the highest adherence to MedDiet, defined by continuous MEDAS scores, exhibited significantly lower risk of developing CP (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.40-0.82; p = 0.002) compared to those in the lowest tertiles. Metabolic status mediated 4.74% of the association between MedDiet adherence and CP risk, while the mediating role of C-reactive protein was not significant. Conclusion: Greater Mediterranean diet adherence is associated with reduced chronic pancreatitis risk.</p>
