Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) for Benign Breast Diseases Across Tertiles (T) of Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) *, n=215

		T1 (-3.8-(−0.91))	T2 (−0.82–0.39)	T3 (0.45–4.53)	P-Trend	Continuous Estimate
Model 1	OR 95% CI P-value	Ref.	0.9 (0.46–1.79) 0.7	1.2 (0.63–2.63) 0.4	0.2	1.11 (0.94–1.32) 0.2
Model 2	OR 95% CI P-value	Ref.	0.8 (0.39–1.83) 0.6	1.7 (0.75–3.95) 0.1	0.04	1.22 (1.003–1.48) 0.04

Notes: *DII was categorized into tertiles according to the distribution of the control group. DII for overall participants (T1: −3.80-(−0.84), T2: −0.82–0.63, T3: 0.64–4.53). To test for a trend across tertiles, the median for each tertile category was used as a continuous variable. Model 1: adjusted for age and menopause status. Model 2: adjusted for age, estrogen therapy, family history of breast disease, use of dietary supplement, matrimony, menopause status, BMI, physical activity and energy intake.
