This is a novel study in women for evaluating the association between
the dietary inflammatory index and sICAM-1, sVCAM-1, and E-selectin.
One previous study that assessed the relationship between DII and
adhesion molecules including ICAM-1 VCAM-1 in adolescent. They found a
positive association between DII and sVCAM-1, however, similarly to our
finding, they did not represent any association between DII and sICAM-1
concentrations. Moreover, some recent studies evaluated the correlation
between DII and cardiovascular diseases. However, they did not find any
association between DII and cardiovascular ischemic diseases, myocardial
infarction in women inversely men. Although, some studies found a
positive relationship between DII and carotid plaque severity, diabetic
mellitus, high blood pressure, cholesterol and obesity.
