Associations have been suggested of high-dose ionising radiation exposure with type-2 diabetes and elevated levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of chronic inflammation. In this analysis we used a proportional hazards model to assess effects of radiotherapy on risks of subsequent inflammatory disease morbidity in 110,368 US radiologic technologists followed from a baseline survey (1983\u20131989\/1994\u20131998) through 2008. We used a linear model to assess log-transformed C-reactive protein concentration following radiotherapy in 1326 technologists. Relative risk of diabetes increased following radiotherapy (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and there was a borderline significant increasing trend per treatment (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.092). For osteoarthritis there was increased relative risk associated with prior radiotherapy on all questionnaires (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.005), and a significant increasing trend per previous treatment (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.024). No consistent increases were observed for other types of inflammatory disease (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis) associated with radiotherapy. There was a borderline significant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.059) increasing trend with dose for C-reactive protein with numbers of prior radiotherapy treatments. Our results suggest that radiotherapy is associated with subsequent increased risk of certain inflammatory conditions, which is reinforced by our finding of elevated levels of C-reactive protein.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-019-41129-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,20]],"date-time":"2019-03-20T11:03:45Z","timestamp":1553079825000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Inflammatory disease and C-reactive protein in relation to therapeutic ionising radiation exposure in the US Radiologic Technologists"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0980-7567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark P.","family":"Little","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michelle","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason J.","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ann Marie","family":"Weideman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martha S.","family":"Linet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"41129_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13044-015-0017-3","volume":"8","author":"K Lacka","year":"2015","unstructured":"Lacka, K. & Maciejewski, A.
