Abstract
Purpose: To investigate prospectively the associations of Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) with lung cancer.

Hazard ratios (HR) were estimated using Cox regression, adjusting for smoking status and other risk factors, with age as the time metric. Results: An inverse correlation was observed between the DII and MDS (ρ = −0.45), consistent with a higher DII being pro-inflammatory and less ‘healthy,’ whil..
