The impact of diet on bone health, particularly its role in managing inflammation, which is a key factor in bone health, is gaining wider recognition. Despite evidence that anti-inflammatory diets can enhance bone health, the link between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and bone health among US adolescents has not been thoroughly investigated.

The DII was derived from dietary recall data obtained through questionnaire interviews. Bone health was assessed through total body less head (TBLH) BMD and BMC z-scores and lumbar spine bone mineral apparent density for age (BMAD<sub>a</sub>).</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The study comprised 8773 adolescents with a mean age of 14.94 ± 1.97 years, 52.2 % were male.

Compared with individuals in quartile 1(Q1) DII scores (−3.71 to 1.04), those in Q4 (3.37 to 5.04) had lower BMAD<sub>a</sub>, with a regression coefficient of −0.00002 (95 % CI, −0.00003 to −0.000007, <em>P</em> < 0.001). DII was negatively correlated with TBLH BMC z-scores; however, the difference was not statistically significant. Subgroup analyses showed that DII was associated with lumbar spine BMAD<sub>a</sub> and TBLH BMC z-scores in participants who were male, non-black, with a higher educational level, with a high family income, and underweight to normal weight.

Current treatments, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and physical therapy, often provide only temporary relief and fail to halt disease progression, particularly in advanced stages where knee replacement surgery becomes the primary option. Regenerative cell therapies, particularly those utilizing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have emerged as promising alternatives due to their anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. This study investigates the efficacy of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) derived from autologous adipose tissue when injected into the infrapatellar (Hoffa's) fat pad, an approach that leverages the rich vascular and stem cell environment of the fat pad to potentially modulate inflammation and promote tissue repair.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Patients receiving therapy with SVF were invited to participate in the study.
