The association between inflammatory potential of dietary habits and the number of cardiovascular disease risk factors^a estimated by multivariable ordinal logistic regression

Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII; quartiles)	OR	95%CI
1^st (anti-inflammatory)	1.00
2^nd	1.17^*	[1.01, 1.35]
3^rd	1.39^**	[1.19, 1.63]
4^th (pro-inflammatory)	1.39^**	[1.15, 1.67]

Abbreviation: OR Odds ratio; CI Confidence interval

Models are adjusted for age, sex, race, poverty, education, marital status, smoking, physical activity, heart disease, and depression.

Cardiovascular disease risk factors included obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia. The total number of these risk factors was calculated (range 0–4) for each individual and used as the outcome.
