Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate associations between Energy-Adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (EDII) with quality of life and serum inflammatory markers.Results: This cross-sectional study was performed on 280 adults healthy overweight and obese aged between 18 and 50 years old that was selected from 20 various health centers by a multistage cluster random sampling method. The mean age of the study participants was 36.30±8.05 years. Analyses were performed using multivariable linear regression, adjusting for age, weight, physical activity, smoking status, economic status, and employment status. Linear regression analysis demonstrated that E-DII were significantly associated with certain the quality of life criteria, such as physical function, mental health, and vitality (β = 5.58, 95% CI 0.72, 10.43, p = 0.024, β = 16.88, 95% CI 10.75, 23, p < 0.0001 and β = 14.29, 95% CI 9.48, 20.36, p < 0.0001, respectively). No significant associations were observed between EDII and serum level hs-CRP. It was found that dietary inflammatory potential decreased some quality of life measurements and levels in overweight and obese Iranian women.

Abstract Background Overweight and obesity are associated with higher levels of inflammatory markers, inflammatory diseases, and lower quality of life. Recent investigations have shown that diet can modify these complications and improve quality of life. Objective The objective of this study was to investigate associations between Energy-Adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (EDII) with quality of life and serum inflammatory markers. Methods In the current cross-sectional study, a total of 280 females from health centers in Tehran, Iran (2018) were selected for the study using a multistage cluster random sampling method. The EDII was computed based on dietary intake, assessed by a previously validated 147-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Before calculating EDII, a residual method was used to adjust energy intake. SF-36 questionnaires were used for evaluating quality of life. Concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were determined using collected serum samples. Results The mean age of the study participants was 36.30 ± 8.05 years. Analyses were performed using multivariable linear regression, adjusting for age, weight, physical activity, smoking status, economic status and employment status. Linear regression analysis demonstrated that E-DII were significantly associated with certain quality of life criteria, such as physical function, mental health, and vitality (β = 5.58, 95% CI 0.72, 10.43, p = 0.024, β = 16.88, 95% CI 10.75, 23, p < 0.0001 and β = 14.29, 95% CI 9.48, 20.36, p < 0.0001, respectively). No significant associations were observed between EDII and serum level hs-CRP. Conclusion It was found that dietary inflammatory potential decreased some quality of life measurements and levels in overweight and obese Iranian women.

Abstract Background End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide. Malnutrition is a common problem among hemodialysis (HD) patients that negatively impacts their prognosis and is linked to an increase in morbidity and mortality in these patients, as well as a decrease in their quality of life (QOL). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the QOL and to investigate factors that can influence it, including nutritional status, as well as socio-demographic factors, among Palestinian diabetic patients on HD therapy. Methods This was a cross-sectional study that occurred at a large hemodialysis center in Palestine. Malnutrition was assessed by the malnutrition-inflammation scale (MIS), and the quality of life was evaluated by using the EuroQoL five-dimensional instrument (EQ-5D). Multivariable linear regression analysis was carried out to look at the effect of multiple variables on QOL. Results A total of 118 diabetic patients on HD were included. Of these, 66.9% were male, and 60.2% were aged 60 years or higher. Having multiple comorbid diseases (p=0.004) and having been on HD for >4 years (p=0.003) were significantly associated with a higher MIS score, whereas living alone (p=0.037) and having been on HD for >4 years (p=0.002) was significantly associated with lower EQ-5D score. We also observed a significant association between the MIS score and the EQ-5D score(r=−0.616, p<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that diabetic hemodialysis patients who lived within a family household were positively correlated with the QOL score (standardized coefficient, 0.178; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.042 to 0.372; p = 0.015), and MIS score was significantly and negatively correlated with QOL scores (standardized coefficient, −0.587; 95% CI, −0.047 to −0.028; p < 0.001). Conclusions We found that malnutrition was associated with a lower QOL score among diabetic patients on HD. We recommend general practitioners, dietitians, nephrologists, and nurses to make plans that pay more attention to this group of patients who show evidence of malnutrition. Patients on dialysis for ≥ 4 years, patients who live alone, and those suffering from multiple co-morbid diseases should receive special care due to their higher risk of being impacted by this problem.

Abstract Background: Skin diseases impair patients’ quality of life (QoL). Psoriasis is of particular concern because it affects multiple facets of patients’ lives.Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether having psoriasis was associated with the more severe QoL impairment compared with the other 12 skin diseases, based on the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI).Methods: This multicenter observational cross-sectional study was conducted in 9centers in China. Socio-demographic variables and health history were collected with a standardized form questionnaire. QoL was measured by the DLQI. DLQI scores were compared between patients with psoriasis and without psoriasis using univariate analysis. Then multivariate linear regression was used to related QoL to groups (psoriasis vs. non psoriasis), clinical and socio-demographic characteristics.Results: Of 8,339 included dermatological participants, 1,310 (15.7%) had psoriasis, and 7,029 (84.3%) did not. The QoL of patients with psoriasis was lower than that of patients without psoriasis based on the DLQI score (11.20 ± 7.37 vs 8.12 ± 6.26, P < 0.05). The results of multivariate linear regression indicated the same results when adjusting clinical and socio-demographic characteristics.Conclusion: Patients with psoriasis experience more quality of life impairment than patients without psoriasis. More attention should be paid to patients with psoriasis in dermatological health policy decision.
