Role of dietary inflammatory index in the association of NT-proBNP with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in NHANES 1999-2004.

ABSTRACT: N-terminal pro-Brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has a predictive value of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Pro-inflammatory diet has been proven to be related to CVD. Our study investigated whether the association between NT-proBNP and mortality differed among general U.S. adults with different dietary inflammatory index (DII) scores. This study utilized the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) database from 1999 to 2004. Non-pregnant U.S. adults aged ≥ 20 years and without CVD were included. Cox regression model and restricted cubic splines were used to investigate the associations between NT-proBNP, DII, and mortality. A total of 9788 adults were included, and 2386 all-cause deaths with 668 CVD deaths occurred over 17.08 years of follow-up. NT-proBNP was posi
