Research outputs 2014 to 2021
Objective:
To quantify the inflammatory potential of the diet of rural and urban Black South Africans using an adapted energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index (AE-DII) and to investigate its relationship with inflammatory and cardio-metabolic disease risk markers. Dietary inflammatory potential has not been investigated in African populations.
Design:
Cross-sectional investigation.
Setting:
Rural and urban sites in the North West province of South Africa.
Participants:
1,885 randomly selected, apparently healthy Black South Africans older than 30 years.
Results:
AE-DII scores ranged from -3.71 to +5.08 with a mean of +0.37. AE-DII scores were significantly higher in men (0.47±1.19) than in women (0.32±1.29), …
