Association of dietary inflammatory index with mortality risk: a prospective analysis of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E-DII), a tool developed based on comprehensive research and literature reviews, is used to assess the inflammatory potential of specific diets. Although previous research has demonstrated an association between E-DII and mortality, longitudinal studies investigating a causal relationship in Asian populations are lacking.
