“women in the third quartile of DIS had a 52% higher risk of developing T2DM (HR 1.52; 95% CI 1.07 to 2.15).”

None of its findings points the other way.

Studies of dietary inflammation score measured one outcome, Δage.

Δage

upin humans1

1 study

Dietary inflammation score is linked with higher Δage in humans (β = 0.27; 95%CI 0.10, 0.44).
“an increase in E-DIITM and DIS scores led to an increase in Δage (β = 0.22; 95%CI 0.05, 0.38; β = 0.27; 95%CI 0.10, 0.44, respectively)”
