Abstract
) of pro-inflammatory foods with anti-inflammatory foods was associated with a 30% lower COPD risk. Our findings suggest that a low-inflammatory diet may significantly mitigate the risk of smoking on COPD development, and delay the COPD onset by about 2 years. However, a low-inflammatory diet is associated with a reduced risk of lung cancer among only smokers. Substituting equal intake of pro-inflammatory foods with anti-inflammatory foods is related to a decreased risk of COPD, but not lung cancer.
