AI Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the growing importance of dietary inflammatory potential in understanding pain-related issues within public health.
- The research found that higher dietary inflammatory index (DII) scores are significantly associated with increased instances of joint pain and headaches/migraines but not with neck or low back pain.
- Stratified analysis revealed demographic variations in the association between DII and different types of pain, indicating that factors like age and sex may influence these relationships.
Article Abstract
Objectives: The growing global burden of pain is gradually expanding from the medical field to public health. Dietary inflammatory potential correlates with inflammatory markers, and inflammation is one of the main mechanisms of pain.
Methods: This study explored the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and pain from the NHANES database on DII and pain (neck pain, low back pain, joint pain, and headache or migraine) using logistic regression and stratified analysis.
Results: The results show a stronger association between DII and joint pain (Q4 of DII adjusted-OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.08-1.40, = 0.003) and headache or migraine (Q4 of DII adjusted-OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.15-1.48, < 0.001), but no association is found in neck pain (Q4 of DII adjusted-OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.89-1.20, = 0.65) and low back pain (Q4 of DII adjusted-OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 0.92-1.17, = 0.54). After stratifying the data according to demographics, differences in the relationship between DII and pain are found at different levels of the population.
Discussion: This study identifies high DII as a risk factor for joint pain and headache or migraine.
