It is accepted that several chronic diseases are associated with inflammation. Dietary habits and the consumption of certain nutrients have been shown to influence inflammation, reflected by inflammatory cytokines. In this narrative review, we discuss currently developed tools to assess the inflammatory potential of diets and compare them with established tools.
Four new indices were recently developed. The Inflammatory Score of the Diet is a modified version of the established Dietary Inflammatory Index. The novel Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Index works without previous dietary intake assessment and the Anti-Inflammatory Diet Index was specifically developed in a northern European population. The Dietary and Lifestyle Inflammation Scores addresses additional confounders. The informative value of dietary indices relies on the accuracy and completeness of dietary intake assessment.
Dietary inflammatory indices are important tools to assess, compare and validate the inflammatory potential of diets across populations without the need for biomarker assessments. They allow to investigate associations between an (anti)-inflammatory diet with disease risk and course. Although the Dietary Inflammatory Index remains the most used index worldwide, currently developed indices allow more flexibility, have a different focus or simplify assessment. Additional foods, that were recently shown to modulate inflammation, but are not (fully) considered yet, may deserve more attention in the future.
人们普遍认为，几种慢性疾病与炎症有关。饮食习惯和某些营养素的摄入已被证明会影响炎症，这反映在炎症细胞因子上。在本叙述性综述中，我们讨论了目前用于评估饮食炎症潜力的工具，并将其与已建立的工具进行了比较。
最近开发了四个新的指标。饮食炎症评分是经过改良的既定饮食炎症指数。新颖的经验性饮食炎症指数无需先前的饮食摄入评估即可使用，而北欧人群中特别开发了抗炎饮食指数。饮食和生活方式炎症评分则解决了其他混杂因素。饮食炎症指数是评估、比较和验证不同人群饮食炎症潜力的重要工具，无需生物标志物评估。它们可以研究抗炎（或促炎）饮食与疾病风险和病程之间的关联。尽管饮食炎症指数仍然是全球使用最广泛的指标，但目前开发的指标具有更大的灵活性、不同的侧重点或简化了评估。最近被证明可以调节炎症的其他食物，虽然尚未（完全）考虑在内，但在未来可能值得更多关注。
