Abstract
Background: The empirical dietary inflammatory potential (EDIP) score is designed to assess the inflammatory potential of a diet based on the pro- and anti-inflammatory properties of its various components. This study examined the association of EDIP with all-cause mortality in a large, community-based, multiracial sample of the United States population.
Study design: A prospective cohort study.
Methods: This analysis included 13155 participants (44.6±18.4 years, 54.21% women, and 40.33% White) without prior history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination (NHANES III) Survey. A 24-hour dietary recall information was used to calculate EDIP. The National Death Index was employed to identify the date and cause of death. Cox proportional hazard analysis was utilized to evaluate the association between the tertiles of EDIP and all-cause mortality over a median follow-up of 26.6 years.
Results: In a model adjusted for demographics and CVD risk factors, a higher EDIP tertile, compared with the lowest tertile, was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR]=1.10; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.19). A standard-deviation increase in EDIP (0.27 units) was related to a 4% increased risk of mortality (HR=1.04; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.08). This association was stronger in older participants compared to younger ones (HR=1.09; 95% CI: 0.98, 1.21 vs. HR=0.89; 95% CI: 0.80, 1.01), respectively, interaction P=0.030)].
Conclusion: Pro-inflammatory diet is associated with an increased risk of mortality, especially in the older population. Dietary changes that reduce inflammation may have the potential to reduce the risk of poor outcomes.
