Association between the dietary inflammatory index and all-cause mortality in the U.S. cancer survivors: A prospective cohort study using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Diet can impact inflammation and consequently affect cancer outcomes. The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) can serve as a tool to assess the inflammatory potential of cancer survivors' diets and further predict their survival.

Objectives

To investigate the relationship between the DII and the survival of cancer survivors in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Methods

An overall sample of 2359 U.S. cancer survivors from the 2005-2014 cohorts of the NHANES were studied. The DII scores were calculated using 28 dietary components and the mortality status was ascertained until December 31, 2015. Based on the multiple analyses, the relationship between DII and all-cause mortal
