Association between dietary inflammatory index and visual impairment among adults in the NHANES 2005-2008.

ABSTRACT: The association between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and visual impairment remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the DII and non-refractive visual impairment among US populations. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2008, including dietary information and visual impairment assessment. Participants with presenting visual impairment, defined as presenting visual acuity in the better-seeing eye worse than 20/40, were included. Participants whose visual acuity in the better-seeing eye could be corrected to 20/40 or better through automated refraction, were classified as having uncorrected refractive error, while others were considered to have non-refractive visual
