The roles of potential inflammation of diet and lifestyle in the risk of insulin-related disorders are unclear. In the current study, we aimed to assess the relationship between dietary inflammation scores (DIS), lifestyle inflammation scores (LIS), and dietary and lifestyle inflammation score (DLIS) and the risk of insulin resistance (IR) and hyperinsulinemia in Tehranian adults. A total of 1,244 participants, aged ≥20 years, who were free of insulin-related disorders at baseline (2006–08), were followed for 3.2 years (2009–11) to ascertain the incidence of hyperinsulinemia and IR. A food frequency questionnaire was used to determine the score of DIS, LIS, and DLIS at baseline. Logistic regression models were used to determine the odds ratio (ORs) of insulin-related disorders across tertiles of DIS, LIS, and DLIS. Mean ± SD age of participants (42.7% men) was 43.0 ± 13.0 years. During the 3.2 years follow-up, the incidence of IR and hyperinsulinemia was 30.0% and 20.0%, respectively. In the multivariable model, there was a direct association between the higher score of DLIS (OR = 2.10; 95% CI: 1.17–3.74) and DIS (OR = 1.84; 95% CI: 1.09–3.11) with the risk of IR incident (P for trend <0.05). Also, the higher score of LIS was related to increased risk of IR (OR = 2.28; 95% CI: 1.19–4.37) and hyperinsulinemia (OR = 1.69; 95% CI: 1.02–2.85) (P for trend <0.05). However, no significant association was observed between the higher score of DLIS and DIS with risk of hyperinsulinemia The higher inflammatory potential of diet and lifestyle, determined by DLIS, DIS, and LIS scores, were associated with a higher risk of IR. Also, individuals with a higher score of LIS are more prone to hyperinsulinemia risk.
