Mediation by the dietary inflammatory index in the association between the weight-adjusted waist index and stroke: Insights from NHANES 2003–2018
Background
Obesity is a significant risk factor for stroke, and the novel index Weight-Adjusted Waist Index (WWI) provides a more accurate representation of fat distribution, which has been linked to stroke risk. Diet plays a crucial role in modulating systemic inflammation, and the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) quantifies the pro-inflammatory potential of dietary intake. However, its role in the relationship between WWI and stroke remains unclear.
Methods
We analyzed 13,603 adults (≥20 years) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003–2018. Multivariable logistic regression assessed the association between WWI and stroke risk, with restricted cubic splines (RCS) testing non-linearity. Mediation analysis evaluated DII’s role in the WWI-stroke link. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses ensured result robustness.
Results
Higher WWI group was significantly associated with increased stroke risk (OR = 2.35, 95 % CI: 1.33, 4.14, p = 0.004). RCS analysis showed no non-linear relationship (p-non-linear = 0.296). DII was positively correlated with both WWI and stroke. Mediation analysis indicated that DII mediated 6.91 % of the WWI-stroke association (p = 0.004). Subgroup analyses confirmed consistent findings, with significant interactions for sex and alcohol consumption.
Conclusion
WWI is positively associated with stroke risk, partially mediated by DII, suggesting that a pro-inflammatory diet contributes to this relationship. Integrating WWI and DII into clinical assessments may refine stroke prevention strategies in at-risk populations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases publishes original papers on basic and clinical science related to the fields of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. The Journal also features review articles, controversies, methods and technical notes, selected case reports and other original articles of special nature. Its editorial mission is to focus on prevention and repair of cerebrovascular disease. Clinical papers emphasize medical and surgical aspects of stroke, clinical trials and design, epidemiology, stroke care delivery systems and outcomes, imaging sciences and rehabilitation of stroke. The Journal will be of special interest to specialists involved in caring for patients with cerebrovascular disease, including neurologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists.
