Abstract

EDIP and DII are dietary inflammation indices, both previously associated with risk of IBD. We show in the UK Biobank a null association between these indices and incident IBD; we challenge the current ways in which these dietary indices are derived and interpreted. The need to account for the effects of food processing as well as the raw ingredients is emphasized as a confounding variable.
