SUMMARY:

INTRODUCTION: People with obesity have an increased circulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which contributes to the perpetuation of low-grade chronic inflammation commonly observed in older individuals, inflammaging. One of the ways to modulate this inflammation is through changes in diet. Among the tools available to assess the inflammatory potential of the diet is the dietary inflammatory index (DII). There are few studies about the factors associated with the prevalence of overweight according to the inflammatory potential of the diet, especially in the Brazilian elderly population. OBJECTIVE: To investigate possible factors associated with the prevalence of excess weight according to the inflammatory index of the diet in elderly women. METHOD: Cross-sectional study, with elderly women from Open University for the Third Age. Sociodemographic, clinical data (presence of hypertension, diabetes type 2 (DT2), dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease), nutritional data (waist circumference, handgrip strength and food intake) and physical activity were assessed. Overweight was assessed by Body Mass Index. The energy-adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII) was calculated based on 24 dietary parameters to assess the inflammatory potential of the diet. The elderly women were stratified into two groups, low E-DII, representing anti-inflammatory potential and high E-DII, with proinflammatory potential, according to the median of the index. Bivariate Poisson Regression was performed to analyze the Prevalence Ratio. Variables with p < 0.20 were considered for multivariate analysis. The research was approved by the Ethics Committee of the UFBA School of Nutrition (CEPNUT) under opinion 1,159,885/2015. RESULTS: in this study, 168 elderly women were evaluated, with a median age of 69 years (65 - 74). The prevalence of overweight was 44.1%. The most prevalent chronic diseases in were hypertension (60.7%) and DT2 (21.4%). The E-DII score ranged from -2.94 to +2.77, with a mean of +0.26. In the multivariate analysis, having completed high school (PR: 0.48, 95% CI 0.26 - 0.86) and practicing physical activity (PR: 0.43, 95% CI 0.25 - 0.75) were variables associated with a lower prevalence rate of overweight in the group with low E-DII, regardless of age group. For the group with high E-DII, having hypertension (PR: 2.23, 95% CI 1.17 - 4.22) and cardiovascular disease (PR: 1.47, 95% CI 1.10 - 1.97) were statistically associated with a higher prevalence rate of overweight regardless of age group. CONCLUSION: The practice of physical activity and a good level of education in elderly women who consumed a more anti-inflammatory diet were associated with a lower prevalence rate of overweight. Furthermore, the presence of hypertension and cardiovascular disease were identified as adverse conditions for a higher prevalence of overweight in elderly women with a more proinflammatory diet.
