The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between dietary patterns and inflammatory markers of adults in Taiwan. Database were obtained from MJ health management institution, and included 482,641 participants. The participants aged between 20 to 65 years old without history of cardiovascular disease and cancer were selected. After exclusion of missing data, a total of 145,695 participants were remained for analysis. According to dietary patterns, participants were categorised into five group: animal protein, cereal, vegetable and fruit, oil and sugar dietary pattern. Statistical analysis was used SAS version 9.3. The correlations between dietary patterns and inflammatory markers including white blood cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, basophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, C reactive protein, alpha-fetoprotein and carcinoembryonic antigen were analyzed. After adjusted for age, body mass index, waist hip ratio, occupation, education, marriage, smoking status, drinking habits, betel nuts chewing and exercise habits, the intake of animal protein, oil and sugar dietary pattern was positively associated with white blood cell concentrations, and the intake of vegetable and fruit dietary pattern was negatively associated with white blood cell concentrations in both genders. However the intake of sugar dietary pattern intake was negatively correlated with C reactive protein concentrations in both genders. Furthermore, the correlations between dietary patterns and other inflammatory markers were different in males and females.
