Food-based indexes and their association with dietary inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Chronic inflammation is associated with an increased risk of noncommunicable diseases, prompting an intensified interest in the diet-disease relationship for modulating inflammation. Diet quality indexes are widely used to quantify dietary patterns. However, the optimal tool for assessing dietary quality in relation to chronic inflammation remains unclear. The objective of this study was to synthesize the literature on food-based diet quality indexes and their association with chronic inflammation.
