Mean Adjusted Difference in C-reactive Protein, HbA1c Percent, Glucose, and Anthropometric and Lipid Biomarkers by Change in Energy-Adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index Scores from Baseline at 3 and 12 months.
| Outcome | E-DII Change <Median |
E-DII Change ⩾Median |
P: median cut | β Cont | P: Cont |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C-reactive protein (mg/L) | –0.53 (–1.48 to 0.41) | –0.01 (–0.82 to 0.79) | .39 | 0.10 | .66 |
| HbA1c percent | –0.05 (–0.17 to 0.07) | 0.03 (–0.08 to 0.13) | .32 | 0.02 | .34 |
| Glucose (mg/dL) | 3.38 (–4.42 to 11.17) | –1.42 (–7.62 to 4.78) | .32 | –2.63 | .05 |
| Body mass index (kg/m2) | –0.66 (–1.51 to 0.19) | 0.38 (–0.30 to 1.07) | .06 | 0.28 | .07 |
| Body fat percent | –1.27 (–2.49 to –0.06) | 0.90 (0.14 to 1.93) | .01 | 0.57 | .02 |
| Body weight (kg) | –0.99 (–2.33 to 0.34) | 0.54 (–0.60 to 1.68) | .08 | 1.04 | .06 |
All models adjusted for age. E-DII change median 1 indicates more anti-inflammatory changes. E-DII median Tertile 3 indicates a more proinflammatory change. P: 1 vs 2 is the P-value for the differences in least-square means between medians 1 and 2. β Cont refers to the beta coefficient for the continuous form of the change in the E-DII and indicates the change in the outcomes per 1-unit increase in the change of the E-DII. Increasing values of the change in the E-DII are worse than decreasing values. P: Cont is the P-value for the beta coefficient.
