Abstract Objective To design and develop a literature-derived, population-based dietary inflammatory index (DII) to compare diverse populations on the potential of their diets. Design Peer-reviewed primary research articles published through December 2010 effect diet inflammation were screened for possible inclusion in DII scoring algorithm. Qualifying scored according whether each parameter increased (+1), decreased (−1) or had no (0) six biomarkers: IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α...
Abstract Objective To perform construct validation of the population-based Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) using dietary data from two different assessments and serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) as validator. Design Using derived (i) three 24 h recalls (24HR) at baseline end each subsequent quarter (i.e. up to fifteen over a year) (ii) 7 d recall (7DDR) measured then quarterly, regression analyses were conducted test effect DII score on hs-CRP dichotomous (≤3 mg/l, >3...
To determine whether the dietary inflammatory index (DII) is associated with or metabolic biomarkers and syndrome (MetSyn) among police officers.Cross-sectional data from Buffalo Cardio-Metabolic Occupational Police Stress study were derived saliva fasting blood samples, anthropometric measurements, long-term shiftwork histories, demographic, stress/depression, food frequency questionnaires (FFQs). Metabolic was defined using standard criteria.Officers in DII quartiles 2 to 4 more likely...
Large international variations in rates of prostate cancer incidence and mortality suggest that environmental factors have a strong influence on the development this disease. The purpose study was to identify predictive variables for data from 59 countries.Data mortality, food consumption, tobacco use, socioeconomic factors, reproductive health indicators were obtained United Nations sources. Linear regression models fit these data. each variable assessed by multiplying coefficient b 75th...
OBJECTIVE. This study sought to determine the accuracy of self-report mammography experience among 392 ethnically diverse women aged 50 74. METHODS. Subjects were randomized telephone or mail condition and surveyed. RESULTS. Thirty-one percent reported accurately exact month year their most recent mammogram; 54% within +/- 3 months, 83% year. Greater was associated with exam recency, White race, non-Hispanic ethnicity, but not age, education, income. Most could correctly report reason for,...
<h3>Background</h3> There is a need for primary care providers to have brief effective methods intervene with high-risk drinkers during regular outpatient visit. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine whether physician- and nurse practitioner–delivered counseling intervention efficacious as part of routine in reducing alcohol consumption by drinkers. <h3>Methods</h3> Academic medical center–affiliated practice sites were randomized special or usual care. From screened population 9772 patients...
<h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the effectiveness of a training program for physician-delivered nutrition counseling, alone and in combination with an office-support program, on dietary fat intake, weight, blood low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels patients hyperlipidemia. <h3>Participants Methods</h3> Forty-five primary care internists at Fallon Community Health Plan, central Massachusetts health maintenance organization, were randomized by site into 3 groups: (1) usual care; (2)...
Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is an important biomarker of aging. This study examined whether inflammatory potential diet, as measured by the Dietary Inflammatory IndexTM (DII) has impact on shortening in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We also carried out validation DII with C-reactive protein (CRP).Data came from NHANES 1999-2002. LTL CRP were assayed leukocyte DNA serum specimens, respectively. The was calculated food intakes assessed using 24-h dietary...
Chronic inflammation is linked to many chronic conditions. One of the strongest modulators diet. The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) measures dietary inflammatory potential and has been validated previously, but not among African Americans (AAs).
Diet is a strong moderator of systemic inflammation, an established risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). The dietary inflammatory index (DII) measures the potential individuals' diets. association between DII and incident CRC was examined, using National Institutes Health–American Associations Retired Persons Health Study individuals ( n 489 422) aged 50–74 years at recruitment, starting 1995–6, followed mean 9·1 sd 2·9) years. Baseline data from FFQ were used to calculate DII; higher...
Sleep disturbances, chronotype and social jetlag (SJL) have been associated with increased risks for major chronic diseases that take decades to develop, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome cardiovascular disease. Potential relationships between poor sleep, SJL they relate risk factors disease not extensively investigated. This prospective study examined chronotype, sleep in relation both obesity elevated blood pressure among healthy young adults. objective measures (total time, onset...
