Abstract
Aims: Chronic low-grade inflammation, often present in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), can be modulated by diet. The study aimed to evaluate the empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP-SP) of diabetic patients seen in primary care in Fortaleza – Ceará - Brazil. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the sample was of convenience and included 229 people. The ELSA-Brazil Food Frequency Questionnaire was applied, and body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were measured. The EDIP-SP, an index validated in Brazil, was calculated. The project was designed according to Resolution 466/2012, submitted and approved by the Ethics Committee in Research with Human Beings. Results: Among the participants, 70.7% were overweight, and 69% had high WC. The mean EDIP-SP was -2.83 (±1.59), and 100% of the diets were anti-inflammatory. There was no correlation between EDIP-SP and BMI, and WC. The high proportion of high BMI and WC values and anti-inflammatory diets may have influenced the findings. Conclusion: In the group evaluated, diet is not a risk factor for low-grade chronic inflammation.
