| Total effect | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Adiposity phenotype | β | SE | 95% CI |
| Total fat mass, kg | 0.683 | 0.111 | 0.465, 0.901 |

Associations of E-DII scores with the adiposity outcomes were examined using linear regression models with adjustment for age, education, physical activity, race/ethnicity, sex, smoking status, and antibiotic use in the last year. Visceral and liver fat models were additionally adjusted for total fat mass. Mediation analyses were conducted using the PROCESS macro for SPSS. E-DII, Energy-Adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index.
