Dietary inflammatory index (DII) may be associated with hypertriglyceridemia waist circumference phenotype in overweight and obese Iranian women: a cross sectional study

Abstract

Objective Recent studies have shown that increased dietary inflammatory index (DII) score or consumption of pro-inflammatory foods can lead to increased waist circumference (WC) as well as triglyceride (TG) concentrations in obese people. The purpose of this study is to examine the association between DII and hypertriglyceridemic waist circumference phenotype (HTGWCP) in women with overweight and obesity. Results There was a positive significant correlation between DII and HTGWCPs. In other words, with an increase in DII score or higher consumption of pro-inflammatory foods, the odds of having abnormal phenotypes including; enlarged waist normal TG (EWNT) (OR = 2.85, 95% CI 1.02 to 7.98, P for trend = 0.04), normal waist enlarged TG (NWET) (OR = 5.85, 95% CI 1.1 to 31.11, P for trend = 0.03) and enlarged waist enlarged TG (EWET) (OR = 3.13, 95% CI 0.95 to 10.27, P for trend = 0.05) increase compared to normal waist normal TG (NWNT) phenotype. In conclusion; increasing DII scores can increase abnormal phenotypes and therefore may increase WC and TG levels in overweight and obese women.

Predicted pro-inflammatory hs-CRP score and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

“…Earlier reports on this subject utilized either pro-inflammation dietary [ 12 , 30–33 ] or metabolic/clinical/genetic [ 34–37 ] factors, but our model employed broadly established pro-inflammatory demographic, lifestyle, and dietary factors to derive a sturdy and validated model in predicting hs-CRP scores. In tandem with our findings, diet-derived pro-inflammatory scores have been associated with higher odds of fatty liver [ 12 ], poorer hepatic health [ 12 , 13 ], and obesity-related hypertriglyceridemia [ 33 ].…”

Determining the relationship between diet inflammatory index, mental status and quality of life in type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study

“…In our study, it was determined that a high DII score did not have a significant effect on WC, waist-hip ratio and BMI values. However, studies showed that the mean WC with a more pro-inflammatory (high diet inflammatory index score) diet was significantly higher than an anti-inflammatory diet (with a low DII score) (Tavakoli et al , 2021; Hariharan et al , 2022). In another study, 1,443 participants were monitored for a median of 8 years.…”

Association between low carbohydrate diet (LCD) and sleep quality by mediating role of inflammatory factors in women with overweight and obesity: A cross‐sectional study

“…Weight loss by dietary restriction may improve sleep quality by reducing sleep fragmentation and alleviating sleep‐disordered breathing. On the other hand, good sleep quality and longer sleep duration may promote weight loss by reducing appetite (Kalam et al., 2021 ) problems such as poor sleep quality, which are more common in women than in men; women are also more likely than men to have diet‐related problems such as cravings for certain foods that can lead to obesity in women (Maddahi et al., 2020 ) Women are one of the most sensitive groups in society, especially in developing societies, and the incidence of inflammatory conditions such as viral and respiratory infections is higher in women than in men (Tavakoli et al., 2021 ), so we chose this group as the target group.…”
