1 Energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E-DII), perceived stress scale (PSS), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). Values are presented as mean (95% CI). 2 Model 1 is a simple model adjusted for age; model 2 is model 1 additionally adjusted for marital status, education level, college, family income, presence of chronic medical conditions, hours spent sleeping per day, duration of physical activity, and previous weight reduction diet; model 2a is model 2 additionally adjusted for BMI; model 2b is model 2 additionally adjusted for waist-to-hip ratio. 1 SD = 1.8 for E-DII and 3.3 mg/L for hs-CRP. 3 Hs-CRP was collected from 289 participants.
