- Higher Dietary Inflammation Index (DII) scores are significantly associated with increased risk of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
- Mendelian randomization suggests an anti-inflammatory diet may reduce BPH risk, indicating a causal relationship.
- Animal studies show pro-inflammatory diets lead to prostate enlargement and increased inflammation markers.
- Anti-inflammatory diets help maintain normal prostate structure and reduce inflammatory markers in rats.
- The study suggests dietary modulation could be a strategy for BPH prevention and management.
