Table 5.

The ORs and 95% CIs for the associations between the DII (normal and energy-adjusted) and body fat (n = 535)

Normal DII category (OR, 95% CI)* P-value Density DII category (OR, 95% CI)** P-value Continuous normal DII (OR, 95% CI)* P-value Continuous density DII (OR, 95% CI)** P-value
DII > -0.12 DII ≥ -0.12 DII > 0.4 DII ≥ 0.4
Model A 1 (ref.) 1.6 (1.1–2.3) 0.019 1 (ref.) 2.5 (1.6–3.9)  < 0.001 1.0 (0.8–1.1) 0.993 1.2 (1.1–1.4) 0.015

*Normal DII, not adjusted DII

**Density DII, DII adjusted for energy

Model A, crude ORs; Model B, age and BMI adjusted; Model C, further adjustments for physical activity, mothers’ marital status and educational level and number of siblings; OR Odds ratio, CI Confidence intervals, DII Dietary inflammatory index
