For many decades diet, mainly its “pro-inflammatory” quality has been pondered as a possible risk factor for developing MS. However, the complexity of different dietary composition analysis provided controversial results. Recently a dietary inflammatory index (DII), a population-based score, was developed to objectify the inflammatory characteristics of a specific dietary intake.

We investigated the potential association between DII (expressed as energy adjusted-DII (E-DII) and non-energy adjusted DII (DII)) assessed from a validated FFQ based on the participants' diet habits during adolescence and the risk for developing MS in a population-based incident case–control study. Multiple logistic regression was used to estimate the adjusted.

We recruited 547 incident MS cases and 1057 general population controls from Tehran, Iran (August 2013–February 2015). A statistically …
