Dietary inflammatory potential and risk of mortality in metabolically healthy and unhealthy phenotypes among overweight and obese adults
Background & aims This study was designed to investigate the association between the
dietary inflammatory index (DII�) scores, metabolic phenotypes, and risk of mortality risk in
overweight/obese individuals from a representative sample of the US population. Methods
Data from 3733 overweight/obese adults (BMI≥ 25 kg/m 2) aged 20–90 years from the
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III, 1988–1994 were analyzed; these
participants were followed for mortality through December 31, 2011. DII scores were�…
