ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIM:
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a severe and rare inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system through optic neuritis and transverse myelitis. Present study aimed to investigate the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and risk of NMOSD.METHODS:
In this case-control study, 30 NMOSD cases and 90 aged matched healthy individuals were recruited. Habitual dietary intakes were assessed by a validated 168-item food frequency questionnaire to calculate the DII score. A multiple adjusted regression was used to determine the odd ratio (OR) of NMOSD across DII tertiles. The Residual method was applied to adjust the energy intake.RESULTS:
Participants in the top of DII tertile were more likely to have NMOSD in the crude model compared to those with the lowest one (OR 4.18; 95%CI 1.43-12.21). It was the case when multivariable confounders were considered in adjustment model I (OR 3.98; 95%CI 1.34-11.82) and II (OR 4.43; 95%CI 1.36-14.38), such that, individuals with a greater DII score had 3.98 and 4.43-time higher risk of NMOSD in model I and II, respectively.CONCLUSION:
The Present study suggests that greater adherence to a pro-inflammatory diet may be associated with an increased risk of NMOSD.
