Dietary inflammatory index and depression: their independent association and combined effect on mortality risk in U.S. adults - an NHANES analysis (2013–2018)
A higher DII score was associated with increased depression risk in U.S. adults. Depression and high DII scores elevated all-cause mortality, but these impacts varied with age, BMI, or smoking status. These findings highlight nutrition-mental health links for targeted prevention.
