Abstract

Purpose: Balanced dietary patterns, sufficient physical activity, and other healthy lifestyle behaviors are increasingly recognized as a complimentary strategy for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aim to explore the joint association of anti-inflammatory diet and vigorous leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) on all-cause and CVD mortality.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 16,068 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2014). Participants were categorized into four lifestyle patterns based on the inflammatory properties of the diet and the degree of vigorous LTPA: pro-inflammatory diet and insufficient vigorous LTPA (pattern 1), anti-inflammatory diet and insufficient vigorous LTPA (pattern 2), pro-inflammatory diet and sufficient vigorous LTPA (pattern 3), anti-inflammatory diet and sufficient vigorous LTPA (pattern 4). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the hazards ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Results: Compared to pattern 1, pattern 4 showed an obvious lower risk of all-cause (HR, 0.51; 95% CI 0.32-0.81) and CVD mortality (HR, 0.31; 95% CI 0.12-0.80). In addition, pattern 2 also had a significantly decreased all-cause (0.80; 0.69-0.92) and CVD mortality risk (0.71; 0.53-0.95). However, t there was no significant reduction in all-cause mortality (0.75; 0.54-1.06) and CVD mortality (0.60; 0.32-1.13) among pattern 3. Consistent results were obtained in subgroup and sensitivity analyses.

Conclusion: Adhering to the anti-inflammatory diet and sufficient vigorous LTPA was associated with lowest all-cause and CVD mortality. Anti-inflammatory diet can counteract the hazards caused by insufficient vigorous LTPA, while sufficient vigorous LTPA fails to offset the detrimental effect of pro-inflammatory diet.
