However, little is known about its relationship with osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the dietary inflammatory index (DII\u00ae) and osteoporosis risk in a large-scale prospective cohort study in Korea. This prospective cohort study included 159,846 participants (men 57,740; women 102,106) from South Korea with a mean follow-up of 7.9 years. The DII was calculated through a validated semi-quantitative FFQ (SQFFQ), and information on osteoporosis was self-reported by the participants. Analyses were performed by using a multivariable Cox proportional hazard model. Higher DII scores were associated with higher osteoporosis risk (HR 1.33; 95% CI 1.12\u20131.58). In women, a higher DII score indicated a higher risk of osteoporosis (HR 1.33; 95% CI 1.11\u20131.59). However, a hazards ratio of similar magnitude in men was not significant (HR 1.32; 95% CI 0.64\u20132.71). Post-menopausal women had higher risks of osteoporosis for higher DII scores (HR 1.33; 95% CI 1.09\u20131.63), whereas among pre-menopausal women, the relationship was not statistically significant (HR 1.39; 95% CI 0.87\u20132.21). Also, there was an increase in osteoporosis risk when the DII increased among women participants with irregular physical activity (HR 1.53; 95% CI 1.17\u20132.01); however, there was no statistically significant increase in osteoporosis risk among women participants with regular physical activity (HR 1.19; 95% CI 0.93\u20131.52). A more pro-inflammatory diet was significantly associated with higher osteoporosis risk in women. Given the similar magnitude of the hazards ratio, studies with sufficient numbers of men are warranted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu10121999","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,18]],"date-time":"2018-12-18T03:12:30Z","timestamp":1545102750000},"page":"1999","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Positive Association between Dietary Inflammatory Index and the Risk of Osteoporosis: Results from the KoGES_Health Examinee (HEXA) Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Hye Sun","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Epidemiology Branch, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention, National Cancer Center, 10408 Goyang, Gyeonggi do, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0529-7037","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cheongmin","family":"Sohn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food and Nutrition, Wonkwang University, 54538 Iksan, 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, 10408 Goyang, Gyeonggi do, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Woori","family":"Na","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food and Nutrition, Wonkwang University, 54538 Iksan, 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 LLC, Columbia, SC 29201, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James R.","family":"H\u00e9bert","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 LLC, 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, 10408 Goyang, Gyeonggi do, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Marini, F., Cianferotti, L., and Brandi, M.L.
