Investigating the dietary inflammatory index and pro-inflammatory immune dynamics: insights from a cross-sectional study of severe vs. non-severe coronary artery disease patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Recent research highlights the important role of inflammation in coronary artery disease (CAD). The current study investigates the association between dietary inflammatory potential, evaluated using the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), and pro-inflammatory immune dynamics, quantified by the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), in patients undergoing elective angiography.

Methods

A variety of data, including demographic, clinical, biochemical, echocardiographic, and angiographic information, were collected from the Nutrition Heshmat Registry (NUTHER) located in Guilan province, Iran. A validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to collect dietary intake data. This study assessed a total of 1,015 individuals who were classified according to the
