Dietary inflammatory index and metabolic syndrome in US children and adolescents: evidence from NHANES 2001-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An increasing number of children and adolescents are affected by metabolic syndrome (MetS). Dietary inflammatory index (DII) was associated with MetS in adult population. This study aimed to determine the associations between DII scores, MetS, and MetS components among children and adolescents.

Methods

Data of children and adolescents in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database 2001-2008 were obtained. DII was calculated for each participant based on the 24-h dietary recall interview. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were conducted to determine the associations between DII, the other study variables and abnormal MetS components.

Results

A total of 5,656 US children and adolescents (mean age = 15.49) in the 2001-2
