Dietary Inflammatory index and its association with fatty liver disease: a study in obese and non-obese populations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The worldwide incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a pressing health issue, with chronic inflammation critically influencing its development. The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) measures the inflammatory potential of one's diet. Our study aimed to investigate the association between DII and fatty liver disease in obese and non-obese individuals.

Methods

Data from the 1999--2001 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), encompassing 3456 adults aged 20 years and above, were utilized for the analysis. The multivariable analysis assessed the correlation between DII, NAFLD, and obesity while adjusting for demographic variables. The restricted cubic spline (RCS) method was also applied with restricted degrees of freedom to establi
