Beta-coefficients 1 (95% CI) for biological aging (Δage) according to the E-DII and DIS 2, Moli-sani sub-cohort (n = 4510).
| Biological Aging (Δage) 3 | ||
|---|---|---|
| E-DIITM | DIS 4 | |
| Age and sex adjusted | 0.14 (−0.03, 0.31) | 0.26 (0.09, 0.43) |
| Multivariable 5 | 0.22 (0.05, 0.38) | 0.27 (0.10, 0.44) |
1 Derived from multivariable linear models. 2 Energy-adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index = E-DII; Dietary Inflammation Score = DIS; Higher E-DII or DIS indicate more proinflammatory diet. For comparison purposes, both scores were standardized. 3 ΔAge > 0 suggests accelerated biological aging of an organism compared to its chronological age, while Δage < 0 indicates decelerated biological aging. 4 Models for DIS were additionally adjusted by total energy. 5 Adjusted for age, sex, education (lower secondary, upper secondary, post-secondary), smoking (non-smoker, smoker, former), BMI, urban, housing (rent, one- or >1 dwelling ownership), leisure-time physical activity (METs h/d), CVD, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hormonal therapy, and menopausal status.
