Dietary inflammatory index and body shape index and mortality risk in early-stage cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic syndrome: evidence from NHANES

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study used data from 32,976 adults with early-stage kidney and heart issues. It looked at how diet and body shape affect the risk of death. It found a link between inflammatory diets and higher mortality risk. This is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause.
