Definition of abbreviations: AHEI-2010 = Alternative Healthy Eating Index 2010; E-DII = energy-adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index; OR = odds ratio.
Data presented as OR (95% confidence interval). All models adjusted for adjusted for age, sex, Hispanic/Latino background, study center, health insurance coverage, body mass index, physical activity, family history of asthma, place of birth, and pack-years of cigarette smoking. Effect estimates (ORs) with P < 0.05 are shown in bold typeface.
