Associations of empirical dietary inflammatory index with heart failure in adults from the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent evidence has shown associations between cardiovascular disease and a proinflammatory diet. We hypothesized that a proinflammatory diet, assessed using the Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Index (EDII), is associated with increased risk of prevalent heart failure (HF).

Methods

This analysis included 13,687 participants (44.8 ± 19.4 years; 45.7% male, 67.8% whites) from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. EDII score was calculated from the Food Frequency Questionnaire. Prevalent HF was determined by physician-diagnosed self-report. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between EDII score and prevalent HF across tertiles (reference group firs
