Popis: To characterize the nutritional status and the consumed Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) by individuals with Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD).Anthropometric, clinical data (Expanded Disability Status Scale, EDSS) anthropometric data (Body Mass Index - BMI; Waist Circumference - WC; Waist-to-hip ratio - WHR; and percentage of fat mass -%FM) and data on food consumption (24-hour recall) were collected to determine the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), according to Shivappa et al. For the statistical analysis, descriptive measures and statistical tests were used, with the significance level set at p0.05.There was a higher prevalence of females (86.8%). The abdominal fat accumulation in individuals was demonstrated in 57.9%, 73.0%, 70.3% and 30.0%, according to BMI, WC, WHR and%FM, respectively. There was no correlation between the EDSS score and the nutritional status, but there was a positive correlation between the administered corticosteroid dose and BMI (r = 0.55; p = 0.002), WC (r = 0.55; p = 0.003) and WHR (r = 0.41; p = 0.033). The mean DII was 4.99 (± 1.09), indicating the consumption of a pro-inflammatory diet. There was a difference in the DII according to gender (p001). In the case-control segment, there was a significant difference in the DII between the groups (β = 2.51; 95% CI: 1.73; 3.27) and a higher risk of developing the disease when the DII was ≥4.41 (OR = 30.25; 95% CI: 6.70; 136.47).Diets with high inflammatory potential are associated with increased risk of NMOSD.
