Pro-Inflammatory diet accounts for higher prevalence of retinopathy in diabetes participants rather than normal glucose and prediabetes: Results from NHANES, 2005-2008.

ABSTRACT: Retinopathy is a chronic inflammatory disease whose prognosis could be improved with dietary interventions. However, the association between a pro-inflammatory diet and the prevalence of retinopathy has not been fully elucidated. We assess the association between the dietary inflammatory index (DII), which is a comprehensive index determining inflammatory potential derived from food parameters according to literature, and the prevalence of retinopathy based on the data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2008 involving 2,403 participants. Energy-adjusted DII (E-DII) was not related to the occurrence of retinopathy in the general, non-diabetic, or middle-aged participants. In the diabetic and aged participants, one unit increment of E-DII accounted for
