Key result
This paper is a study protocol for a rapid scoping review that will summarize observational research on socio-ecological predictors of diet-associated inflammation and adiposity in youth.
Why the study?
Diet-related inflammation is linked to adiposity, but socio-ecological predictors of a pro-inflammatory diet in childhood and adolescence are not well understood.
This scoping review protocol outlines a methodology to synthesize evidence on socio-ecological predictors of diet-related inflammation and their association with adiposity in children and adolescents.
Review maps socio-ecological predictors of youth pro-inflammatory diets; leaves open causal links and targeted interventions.
INTRODUCTION: Diet-related inflammation is associated with adiposity. Obesity and inflammation in early life may have adverse health outcomes in later life; however, the socio-ecological predictors of a pro-inflammatory diet in childhood and adolescence are not well understood. This rapid scoping review aims to summarise the current state of research from observational studies investigating socio-ecological predictors (childhood, parental, familial, demographic and chronobiological risk factors) and their association with diet-associated inflammation and adiposity in children and adolescents. METHODS: This scoping review will be conducted using the frameworks based on the Joanna Briggs Institute and Arksey and O'Malley and the Population, Concept and Context (PCC) mnemonic. Searches were conducted in OVID Medline, Cinahl and Embase, with adaptations as required. The piloted study selection process will utilise two reviewers for study selection, with reference lists checked for included studies. A third reviewer will moderate disagreements. Data will be extracted by one reviewer and calibrated by a second reviewer. RESULTS: The results will be reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist and PRISMA-ScR flow diagram. The main findings will be synthesised into themes and concepts narratively. Tables and graphs will present frequencies, study details and categorical descriptions. DISCUSSION: This scoping review will provide an overview of the research conducted to date regarding predictors of diet-related inflammation in childhood and their associations with adiposity. Better understanding of the factors associated with a more inflammatory diet in childhood may be useful for clinicians and policy makers when designing and implementing health interventions.

Vingrys et al. (2023) studied Childhood and adolescent adiposity and diet-related inflammation. Socio-ecological predictors and dietary inflammatory scores was evaluated on Association between dietary inflammation scores and adiposity, and socio-ecological predictors of dietary inflammation. This paper is a study protocol for a rapid scoping review that will summarize observational research on socio-ecological predictors of diet-associated inflammation and adiposity in youth.
