Is the dietary inflammatory index associated with stroke in the US general population?
A higher dietary inflammatory index is nonlinearly and positively associated with stroke prevalence in the US population, highlighting the potential role of pro-inflammatory diets in cerebrovascular risk.
Our study determined a nonlinear and positive association between DII and stroke in the US general population. Given the intrinsic limitations of cross-sectional study design, it is necessary to conduct more research to ensure the causality of such association.
Mao et al. (2024) studied this question.
