DOI 10.17116/profmed202326011120
Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Nutritional habits and diet play a significant role in the modulation of chronic systemic inflammation. Dietary habits are multidimensional quantities with strong intrinsic correlations. The complexity of assessing the influence of factors can be simplified with dietary indices, which quantify dietary differences in a single parameter and can be used as a tool for controlling diet in clinical trials. This review addresses different dietary indices and meal frequency questionnaires in studies assessing the effects of nutritional behavior on chronic low-grade inflammation.
