A pro-inflammatory diet in people with multiple sclerosis is associated with an increased rate of relapse and increased FLAIR lesion volume on MRI in early multiple sclerosis: A prospective cohort study.

Background: A pro-inflammatory diet has been posited to induce chronic inflammation within the central nervous system (CNS), and multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the CNS.

Objective: We examined whether Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) scores are associated with measures of MS progression and inflammatory activity.

Methods: A cohort with a first clinical diagnosis of CNS demyelination was followed annually (10 years,  = 223).

Dietetic intervention in psoriatic arthritis: the DIETA trial.

Aim: To evaluate whether dietary pattern changes, antioxidant supplementation or 5-10% weight loss could improve disease activity (skin and joint) in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Methods: A total of 97 PsA patients were enrolled in this 12-week randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. Patients were randomized into three groups: Diet-placebo (hypocaloric diet + placebo supplementation); Diet-fish (hypocaloric diet + 3 g/day of omega-3 supplementation; and Placebo.

Greater cumulative exposure to a pro-inflammatory diet is associated with higher metabolic syndrome score and blood pressure in young Mexican adults.

Low-grade inflammation is a suggested mechanism in the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS), and diet could act as a regulator. Therefore, we hypothesized that the cumulative Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII®) exposure from diet during infancy through adulthood would be positively associated with the MetS and its components in young Mexican adults. One hundred participants from the Early Life Exposures in Mexico to Environmental Toxicants cohort were included in this analysis.
