A higher Dietary Inflammatory Index (an index that quantifies the inflammatory potential of a diet based on up to 45 food parameters) was also found to be associated with increased risk of depressive symptoms and anxiety.30 It is likely that diet-related inflammation is associated with increased risk for many psychiatric conditions as inflammation and neuro-oxidative stress have the potential to cause neuronal damage. Furthermore, because the brain exhibits high oxygen consumption and high lipid content, it is particularly susceptible to oxidative stress.31

Nutrient intakes, including GI and GL, were calculated from a 3-day dietary record log. The 3-day dietary record was completed over 2 weekdays and 1 weekend day within 1 menstrual cycle following the study blood draw. The inflammatory potential of the diet was assessed by calculating the adapted dietary inflammatory index (ADII). Briefly, the ADII was calculated by multiplying the dietary inflammatory weight of 28 nutrients [carbohydrate (g), protein (g), dietary fiber (g), saturated fat (g), monounsaturated fat (g), omega-6 (g), omega-3 (g), trans fatty acids, cholesterol (mg), alcohol (g), vitamin A (µg), β-carotene (µg), thiamin (mg), niacin (mg), riboflavin (mg), vitamin B6 (mg), folate (µg), vitamin B12 (µg), vitamin C (mg), vitamin D (µg), vitamin E (mg), magnesium (mg), iron (mg), zinc (mg), selenium (mg), caffeine (mg), daidzein (mg), genistein (mg)] by the standardized energy-adjusted intake of each nutrient and summing all values, as reported by van Woudenbergh (3). Body weight was assessed using an electronic scale, and height was measured using a Harpenden wall-mounted stadiometer.

The inflammatory potential of individuals’ diets may be especially relevant to development of frailty among obese older adults. To measure the inflammatory potential of diets, researchers from the University of South Carolina developed a tool called the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII®). The DII has been validated with a range of inflammatory markers in various populations.20–23 Pro-inflammatory diets, as indicated by higher DII scores, are associated with greater incidence of overweight and obesity,24 greater risk of mortality,25 and greater incidence of several medical comorbidities,26–28 while anti-inflammatory diets, as indicated by lower DII scores, may help protect against these same outcomes.29 Research further suggests that the relationship between dietary inflammation and obesity is mutually reinforcing.24,30 Obesity is associated with low-grade inflammation of adipose tissue, which may lead to greater production of several inflammatory molecules.31,32 Pro-inflammatory diets may, therefore, serve to amplify the role of obesity in frailty development and vice versa. Understanding dietary inflammation’s role may provide valuable insights for frailty prevention and treatment, especially among obese older adults.

Although BrCa is the most common cancer in the world, certain aspects of its etiology have not yet been elucidated (3,5). Some evidence suggested that inflammation is involved in initiation and progression of BrCa (6,7). Inflammation also is an important prognostic factor for breast cancer (8,9). At the same time, accumulating evidence has revealed associations between diet and inflammation (10,11). The literature-derived, population-based dietary inflammatory index (DII®), was designed to assess the overall quality of diet with regard to its inflammatory potential (11). The DII has been validated with various inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein (11–13), interleukin-6 (14), and homocysteine (14). Previously, the relationship of the DII has been established with malignancies including colorectal (15–18), pancreatic (19), bladder (20), gastric (21), and prostate (22). However, studies on the association of the DII with breast cancer have produced equivocal results (23–28). In this study, we investigated the association between DII scores and BrCa in a case-control study for the first time in a Middle Eastern population.
