Higher dietary oxidative balance scores (OBS) are associated with lower prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: We investigated the association between OBS and biomarkers of inflammation using data from the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study. Nutrient estimates from the Block Food Frequency Questionnaires were used to define tertiles of 11 pro- and antioxidant factors. Points for each OBS component were summed, with a higher score indicating predominance of antioxidant exposures. Multivariable linear regression models were used to estimate the association between OBS and biomarkers of inflammation (interleukin-6 [IL-6], interleukin-8 [IL-8], interleukin-10 [IL-10], fibrinogen, C-reactive protein [CRP], white blood cell count, and cystatin C). An interaction term was included to determine if associations between OBS and inflammatory markers differed between individuals with and without CKD. Results: Of 682 participants, 22.4% had CKD. In adjusted models, OBS was associated with CRP and IL-6. For every 5-unit increase in OBS, the CRP concentration was –15.3% lower (95% CI: –25.6, –3.6). The association of OBS with IL-6 differed by CKD status; for every 5-unit increase in OBS, IL-6 was –10.7% lower (95% CI: –16.3, –4.7) among those without CKD, but there was no association among those with CKD (p = 0.03). Conclusion: This study suggests that a higher OBS is associated with more favorable levels of IL-6 and CRP, and that the association of OBS and IL-6 may be modified by CKD status. %I Karger Publishers
