Association between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and urinary enterolignans and C-reactive protein from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey�…
Background Enterolignans are important biomarkers of microbiota diversity, with higher
levels indicating greater diversity. Diet and inflammation have been shown to play a role in
maintaining microbiota diversity. This study examined whether inflammatory potential of diet,
as measured by the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII�) has an impact on levels of urinary
enterolignans in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003–
2008. We also carried out construct validation of the DII with C-reactive protein (CRP)�…

Scope Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is an important biomarker of aging. This study
examined whether inflammatory potential of diet, as measured by the Dietary Inflammatory
IndexTM (DII) has an impact on telomere shortening in the National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES). We also carried out validation of the DII with C‐reactive
protein (CRP). Methods and results Data came from NHANES 1999–2002. LTL and CRP
were assayed from leukocyte DNA and serum specimens, respectively. The DII was�…
