The aim of this study was to investigate the association between Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII\u00ae) and cervical cancer risk among Korean women. This study consisted of 764 cases with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)1, 2, 3, or cervical cancer, and 729 controls from six gynecologic oncology clinics in South Korea. The DII was computed using a validated semiquantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Odds ratios and 95% CI were calculated using multinomial logistic regression. Higher DII scores were associated with higher cervical carcinogenesis risk. A significant association was observed between the DII and risk among CIN2\/3 [Odds Ratio (OR) = 3.14; 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) = 1.57\u20136.29] and cervical cancer patients (OR = 1.98; 95% CI = 1.01\u20133.88). Among Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)-positive women, a significant association was found between DII and cervical carcinoma risk with CIN2\/3 (OR = 5.65; 95% CI = 1.38\u201323.2). Moreover, women with CIN2\/3 and cervical cancer showed a significant association with proinflammatory diet in people without of physical activity (OR = 3.79; 95% CI = 1.81\u20137.93). These findings suggest that high intake of proinflammatory diets is associated with increased risk of cervical carcinogenesis among women with CIN2\/3. Further evaluation in future studies to confirm this association is warranted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers11081108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,5]],"date-time":"2019-08-05T03:25:22Z","timestamp":1564975522000},"page":"1108","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Dietary Inflammatory Index and Its Relationship with Cervical Carcinogenesis Risk in Korean Women: A Case-Control Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Sundara Raj","family":"Sreeja","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Epidemiology Branch, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention, National Cancer Center, Madu-dong, Ilsan-dong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do 10408, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyun Yi","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Epidemiology Branch, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention, National Cancer Center, Madu-dong, Ilsan-dong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do 10408, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minji","family":"Kwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Epidemiology Branch, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention, National Cancer Center, Madu-dong, Ilsan-dong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do 10408, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nitin","family":"Shivappa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Prevention and Control Program, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208, USA"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Arnold School of Public Health, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208, USA"},{"name":"Connecting Health Innovations Columbia, Columbia, SC 29201, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0677-2672","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James R.","family":"Hebert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Prevention and Control Program, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208, USA"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Arnold School of Public Health, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208, USA"},{"name":"Connecting Health Innovations Columbia, Columbia, SC 29201, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mi Kyung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Epidemiology Branch, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention, National Cancer Center, Madu-dong, Ilsan-dong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do 10408, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Awareness and knowledge of cervical cancer and its prevention among the nursing staff of a tertiary health institute in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India","volume":"6","author":"Shah","year":"2012","journal-title":"Ecancer"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Ardahan, M.
