Fruit and Vegetable Consumption and its Relation to Markers of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Adolescents
Background
• Fruits and vegetables, foods rich in flavonoids and antioxidants, have been associated with lower risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, and markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in adults
• Markers of inflammation and oxidative stress are predictors of coronary heart disease risk
• It is unknown whether these markers are related to dietary flavonoid and antioxidant intake in youth.

Study Objective
To determine whether greater intakes of fruit and vegetables, antioxidants, and total flavonoids are inversely associated with
markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in adolescent boys and girls.

Study Methods
• Study Design
– Cross-sectional study conducted in 1996-2000
• Study Population
– 304 adolescent girls and boys
– Exclusions for analysis:
• 19 students without dietary data
– 285 adolescents included in analysis

Data Collection
• Tanner stage assessed (I, II, III, IV, V)• Height and weight measured
– Body mass index (BMI) calculated kg/m2
• Fasting blood sample obtained– Analyzed for markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein
• Dietary intake assessment – Willett 127-item food frequency questionnaire

Food Groups
• Food intakes were grouped into selected food categories for these analyses
– Fruit: 10 different fruits
– Fruit juice: apple, orange, grapefruit juice
– Vegetables: 24 vegetables
– French fried potatoes
– Legumes

Statistical Methods
• All analyses were conducted using SAS, version 9.1• Variables with skewed distributions were log transformed to
achieve normality; means were back transformed and reported as geometric means.
• Spearman partial correlation analyses evaluated the relation of dietary intake with markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, adjusting for age, sex, race, Tanner stage, energy intake, and body mass index.

Conclusions
• The beneficial effects of fruit and vegetable intake on markers of inflammation and oxidative stress are already present by early adolescence.
• These findings provide support for the United States Dietary Guideline “to consume five or more servings per day” of fruits and vegetables, which is beneficial for cardiovascular health.
