The relationship between dietary inflammatory index values and thyroid function in the US adult population: An analysis of the NHANES 2007-2012 cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Researchers have developed the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) as a tool to quantify the inflammatory potential of a given diet. Higher DII scores indicated a more proinflammatory diet.

Methods

For this study, we used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Standardized questionnaires were used to collect demographic and dietary data from the participants, and laboratory tests were used to collect data on the participants' thy
