Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Dietary Inflammatory IndexBaseline

The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is a literature-derived scoring system that assesses the inflammatory potential of an individual's diet based on the intake of various nutrients and food components. Higher scores indicate a more pro-inflammatory diet, while lower scores indicate an anti-inflammatory one.

Healthy eating index-2015Baseline

The Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) is a measure developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to assess how well an individual's dietary intake aligns with the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better adherence to dietary recommendations. Specifically, a score above 80 reflects "good" diet quality, scores between 51 and 80 suggest "moderate" quality, while scores of 50 or below are classified as "poor" diet quality.
