Association between Inflammatory Dietary Pattern and Mammographic Features.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The empirical dietary inflammation pattern score (EDIP), which measures the ability of the diet to regulate chronic inflammation, is associated with both higher adiposity and breast cancer (BC) risk. Mammographic density (MD) is an important risk factor for BC.

Objective

We examined the associations between EDIP and mammographic features overall and stratified by menopausal status, and assessed the extent to which these associations are mediated by adiposity.

Methods

We included 4145 participants without BC in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and NHSII. Cumulative average EDIP was assessed by food frequency questionnaires every 4-6 y. We assessed MD parameters (percent MD, dense area, and nondense area) and V (measure of grayscale variation). MD parameters we
