Associations between dietary inflammatory index with menopause and hysterectomy: findings from a national health and nutrition examination survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the dietary inflammatory index (DII) plays a vital role in human health, the association between the DII and women's menopausal status is still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of the energy-adjusted DII (E-DII) with natural menopause and hysterectomy among women aged 20-65 years in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study to assess the associations of the E-DII with natural menopause and hysterectomy using multivariate regression models. To further explore the effect of the E-DII on early natural menopause, subgroup analyses were performed. Additionally, the correlations between the E-DII score and age at menopause or hysterectomy were evaluated via Spear
