Analysis of dietary inflammatory potential and mortality in cancer survivors using NHANES data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the United States, cancer is a leading cause of mortality, with inflammation playing a crucial role in cancer progression and prognosis. Diet, with its capacity to modulate inflammatory responses, represents a potentially modifiable risk factor in cancer outcomes.

Methods

This study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 1999-2018) to investigate the association between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), which reflects dietary-induced inflammation, and mortality among cancer survivors. A total of 3,011 participants diagnosed with cancer were included, with DII scores derived from dietary recall data. All-cause and cancer-related mortalities served as primary endpoints.

Results

The study identified a significan
