Resistin is secreted by monocytes/macrophages and is associated with insulin resistance, inflammation and cardiovascular diseases. In the Japanese cohort, serum resistin is tightly associated with a single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at ‐420 (rs1862513) in the promoter region of the human resistin gene. However, interactions between SNP‐420 and environmental factors remain to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between serum resistin levels and nutrient intake, and the effect of SNP‐420 on this association.
