Abstract:
What's new? High scores on the dietary inflammatory index (DII®), a method for quantifying the inflammatory potential of a person's diet, are associated with increased colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence. Little is known, however, about associations between DII scores and mortality after CRC diagnosis. Here, DII scores collected at a median of six years after diagnosis for more than 1,400 long‐term CRC survivors suggests that overall the inflammatory potential of an individual's diet has no bearing on all‐cause mortality. In certain subgroups of patients, however, including those with metastatic disease or those without a stoma, evidence suggests high DII score is linked to increased all‐cause mortality.
