Data_Sheet_1_A cross-sectional study on the association between dietary inflammatory index and hyperuricemia based on NHANES 2005–2018.docx

BackgroundHyperuricemia is a common condition that can lead to gout and other related diseases. It has been suggested that Inflammatory factors play important role in the development and progression of hyperuricemia. The dietary inflammatory index (DII) enables the assessment of the inflammatory potential of an individual’s diet. This study aimed to investigate the association between DII and hyperuricemia.MethodsThis study was performed based on a cross-sectional dataset from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005–2018. Participants aged 18 years and above with dietary intake and serum uric acid level information were included. DII scores were calculated using dietary intake data, based on which participants were categorized into tertiles. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was adopted to investigate the association between DII and hyperuricemia.ResultsAmong a total of 31,781 participants in the analysis, 5,491 had hyperuricemia. After adjusting confounding factors, the odds of hyperuricemia are significantly higher in the second (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.07–1.29) and third tertiles (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.19–1.44) relative to the first one.ConclusionThis study suggested that diet with higher inflammatory potential, as measured by DII, is associated with increased hyperuricemia risk. These findings indicated that dietary modification may be a potential approach for hyperuricemia’s prevention and control.</p
