Pro-inflammatory dietary patterns and their association with cardiovascular disease and pancreatic cancer in a hospital population: a cross-sectional study
In this pragmatic clinical setting, a brief, food-based inflammatory diet score did not discriminate cross-sectional differences in pancreatic-cancer prevalence or CVD, nor did it correlate meaningfully with hsCRP. These null findings bound plausible effect sizes and support the need for larger, prospective studies with richer dietary phenotyping and biomarker integration.
