Change in the inflammatory potential of diet over 10 years and subsequent mortality: the Multiethnic Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Dietary inflammatory potential assessed by the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII®) has been associated with health outcomes. However, longitudinal changes in the DII in relation to health outcomes rarely have been studied. This study aimed to examine change in the DII score over 10 years and its association with subsequent mortality in the Multiethnic Cohort. The analysis included 56,263 African American, Japanese American, Latino, Native Hawaiian, and White participants who completed baseline (45-75 years) and 10-year follow-up surveys, including a food frequency questionnaire. Mean energy-adjusted DII (E-DII) decreased over 10 years in men (from -0.85 to -1.61) and women (from -1.80 to -2.47), reflecting changes toward a more anti-inflammatory diet. During an average follow-up of 13.0 year
