- Abstract
Introduction: Chronic low-grade inflammation is a characteristic feature of obesity, and elevated levels of inflammation are associated with pathophysiologic consequences and a constellation of metabolic disturbances, such as hypertension. The relationships of inflammation with diet, obesity, and hypertension are complex, hence, this study aimed to assess cross-sectional relationships between inflammatory scores, diet quality, obesity, high blood pressure (BP), and hypertension in the Airwave Health Monitoring Study cohort, a large cohort of police officers and police staff in the United Kingdom. Methods: Data from 5198 men and 3347 women who completed health screening measurements and dietary assessment between 2007 and 2012 were included (n=8545 adults). Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were calculated. Diet quality was evaluated using the Nutrient-Rich Food 9.3 (NRF9.3) index score. Results: Results show that a 1SD higher diet quality score, waist circumference, and systolic/diastolic BP were significantly associated with SII differences of − 33.3 (95% confidence interval (CI): − 49.0, − 17.6), 8.2 (95% CI: 0.2, 16.6), 17.9 (95% CI: 10.1, 25.8), and 18.3 (95% CI: 10.8, 25.7) (Model 2; P< 0.0001), respectively. A 1SD higher diet quality score, waist circumference, and BMI were also significantly associated with PLR (P< 0.0001). The odds of elevated PLR were higher in those with higher systolic and diastolic BP (P< 0.0001, P=0.0006, respectively). Conclusion: In conclusion, the findings of this analysis add to the existing knowledge indicating a link between inflammation and conditions such as obesity, hypertension, and behavioral factors including diet quality. Of the various inflammatory scores evaluated, SII and PLR were consistently significantly associated with diet quality and these conditions.
