Q1 indicates participants having the lowest DII values, the least pro-inflammatory level; Q4 the highest, the most pro-inflammatory level. DII, Dietary inflammatory index; Flavonoids = flavan-3-ol+flavones+flayonols+flayonones. a Tests for trends were performed for continuous variables using categorical component scores by quartiles. b Data are presented as odds ratios (ORs) with correspondent 95% confidence intervals (CI) and are adjusted for smoking status, drinking status, education, body-mass index (BMI), age, history of diabetes, history of hypertension, and region.
