Abstract
BackgroundWhether a low-inflammatory diet relates to type 2 diabetes risk remains unclear. We examined the association between a low-inflammatory diet and risk of type 2 diabetes among normoglycemic and prediabetic participants. We also explored whether a low-inflammatory diet modifies genetic risk for type 2 diabetes.MethodsAmong 142,271 diabetes-free UK Biobank participants (aged 39-72 years), 126,203 were normoglycemic and 16,068 were prediabetic at baseline. Participants were followed for up to 15 years to detect incident type 2 diabetes. At baseline, dietary intake was assessed with a 24-h dietary record. An inflammatory diet index (IDI) was generated based on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels and was a weighted sum of 34 food groups (16 anti-inflammatory and 18 pro-inflammatory). Participants were grouped into tertiles corresponding to inflammatory level (low, moderate, and high) based on IDI scores. Prediabetes at baseline was defined as HbA1c 5.7-6.4% in diabetes-free participants. Incident type 2 diabetes and age of onset were ascertained according to the earliest recorded date of type 2 diabetes in the Primary Care and Hospital inpatient data. A diabetes-related genetic risk score (GRS) was calculated using 424 single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Data were analyzed using Cox regression and Laplace regression.ResultsDuring follow-up (median 8.40 years, interquartile range 6.89 to 11.02 years), 3348 (2.4%) participants in the normoglycemia group and 2496 (15.5%) in the prediabetes group developed type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes risk was lower in normoglycemic (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.71, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.65, 0.78) and prediabetic (HR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.73, 0.89) participants with low IDI scores compared to those with high IDI scores. A low-inflammatory diet may prolong type 2 diabetes onset by 2.20 (95% CI 1.67, 2.72) years among participants with normoglycemia and 1.11 (95% CI 0.59, 1.63) years among participants with prediabetes. In joint effect analyses, normoglycemic or prediabetes participants with low genetic predisposition to type 2 diabetes and low IDI scores had a significant 74% (HR = 0.26, 95% CI 0.21, 0.32) or 51% (HR = 0.49, 95% CI 0.40, 0.59) reduction in type 2 diabetes risk compared to those with high genetic risk plus high IDI scores. There were significant additive and multiplicative interactions between IDI and GRS in relation to type 2 diabetes risk in the normoglycemia group.ConclusionsA low-inflammatory diet is associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes and may delay type 2 diabetes onset among participants with normal blood glucose or prediabetes. A low-inflammatory diet might significantly mitigate the risk of genetic factors on type 2 diabetes development.</p>
