Aims: We aimed to assess the association between dietary inflammation index (DII) and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) in US adults aged ≥40 years.Methods: Data were obtained from the 2013–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Participants who were <40 years old and missing the data of DII and AAC were excluded. DII was calculated based on a 24-h dietary recall interview for each participant. AAC score was quantified by assessing lateral spine images and severe AAC was defined as AAC score >6. Weighted multivariable regression analysis and subgroup analysis were preformed to estimate the independent relationship between DII with AAC score and severe AAC.Results: A total of 2,897 participants were included with the mean DII of −0.17 ± 2.80 and the mean AAC score of 1.462 ± 3.290. The prevalence of severe AAC was 7.68% overall, and participants in higher DII quartile tended to have higher rates of severe AAC (Quartile 1: 5.03%, Quartile 2: 7.44%, Quartile 3: 8.38%, Quartile 4: 10.46%, p = 0.0016). A positive association between DII and AAC score was observed (β = 0.055, 95% CI: 0.010, 0.101, p = 0.01649), and higher DII was associated with an increased risk of severe AAC (OR = 1.067, 95% CI: 1.004, 1.134, p = 0.03746). Subgroup analysis indicated that this positive association between DII and AAC was similar in population with differences in gender, age, BMI, hypertension status, and diabetes status and could be appropriate for different population settings.Conclusion: Higher pro-inflammatory diet was associated with higher AAC score and increased risk of severe AAC. Anti-inflammatory dietary management maybe beneficial to reduce the risk of AAC.

ObjectivesTo investigate the serum level of osteocalcin (OC), also known as bone Gla protein, in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and its correlation with abdominal aortic calcification (AAC).MethodsFrom July 2017 to February 2020, we enrolled 108 adult MHD patients. Routine fasting blood laboratory tests were performed before the start of the second hemodialysis in a week. Abdominal aortic calcification score (AACs) was assessed within 1 month. Pearson correlation and Logistic regression were used to analyze the data.ResultsThe OC level was 231.56 (25.92,361.33) ng/ml, elevating significantly in this group of MHD patients. It had a positive correlation with serum phosphorus (r = 0.511, P = 0.001), intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH) (r = 0.594, P = 0.0001), fibroblast growth factor 23(FGF23) (r = 0.485, P = 0.003) and a negative correlation with age(r = -0.356, P = 0.039). Based on the AACs, patients were divided into two groups. Serum OC level were higher in patients with AACs≥5 (p=0.032). A multiple logistics regression analysis revealed that age (odds ratio [OR]1.14, P=0.005) and OC(OR=1.10, P=0.008)were risk factors for high AACs(≥5).ConclusionThe study implicated that OC elevated significantly in this group of MHD patients.OC is positively correlated with phosphorus, iPTH, FGF23, and a negative correlation with age. OC was a risk factor for vascular calcification in this study, but this study did not classify osteocalcin as c-OC and unOC. Whether unOC is associated more directly with vascular calcification requires further study.
