This research investigated the connection between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and the risk of all-cause mortality in adults with coronary heart disease (CHD) using data from a national health survey. The study found that higher DII scores, indicating a more pro-inflammatory diet, were associated with a greater risk of death in these patients. Notably, this association appeared stronger in women with CHD. The findings suggest that managing dietary inflammation could be an important factor in improving outcomes for individuals with CHD, particularly for females. However, due to the study's design, further research is needed to confirm a direct cause-and-effect relationship.
