Consumption of a healthy dietary pattern results in significant reductions in C-reactive protein levels in adults: a meta-analysis

Consumption of healthy dietary patterns has been associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Dietary intervention targets disease prevention, so studies increasingly use biomarkers of underlying inflammation and MetS progression to examine the diet-health relationship. The extent to which these biomarkers contribute to the body of evidence on healthy dietary patterns is unknown. The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine the effect of healthy dietary patterns on biomarkers associated with adiposity, insulin resistance, and inflammation in adults.
