Designing and developing a literature-derived, population-based dietary inflammatory index

A population-based dietary inflammatory index predicts levels of C-reactive protein in the Seasonal Variation of Blood Cholesterol Study (SEASONS)

TL;DR: The success of this first-of-a-kind attempt at relating individuals’ intakes of inflammation-modulating foods using this refined DII, and the finding that there is virtually no drop-off in predictive capability using a structured questionnaire in comparison to the 24HR standard, sets the stage for use of the DII in a wide variety of other epidemiological and clinical studies.

Relationship between number of sexual intercourse partners and selected health risk behaviors among public high school adolescents.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between number of sexual partners and selected health risk behaviors in a statewide sample of public high school students and found that an increased number of intercourse partners was correlated with a cluster of risk behaviors that place adolescents at risk for unintended pregnancy, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodiciency syndrome, and other sexually transmitted infections.
