Developing the Dietary Inflammatory Index for Clinical Application

Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Although we know both that chronic, systemic inflammation is linked to virtually all of the chronic diseases that cause the majority of disability and death in he U.S., and that diet plays a central role in the regulation of chronic inflammation, there is virtualy no data linking all three factors. With our development of the dietary inflammatory index (DII) we have been able to fill this void. The work proposed here will allow us to translate an impressive body of evidence-based results linking diet, inflammation, and health-related endpoints to places of clinical need and public health relevance.
