About This Inflammation Risk Assessment
Our comprehensive inflammation risk calculator uses established research including the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and validated biomarkers to assess your chronic inflammation risk. Perfect for women looking to understand and optimize their inflammatory status. This evidence-based tool analyzes your lifestyle factors, diet quality, biomarkers, and symptoms to provide a comprehensive inflammation risk score. You'll receive personalized anti-inflammatory recommendations, supplement suggestions, and testing guidance based on current research.

Frequently Asked Questions
The DII is a validated scientific tool that scores foods from +8 (most pro-inflammatory) to -8 (most anti-inflammatory) based on their effect on inflammatory biomarkers like CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α. Our calculator incorporates DII principles along with lifestyle and biomarker data to assess your overall inflammation risk.
This tool provides evidence-based estimates using validated inflammatory markers and established risk factors. However, inflammation is complex and individual responses vary. This assessment is for educational purposes and should complement, not replace, clinical evaluation including blood tests for inflammatory markers like CRP.
The most common and useful inflammatory markers include hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), and a complete blood count. For more detailed assessment, your doctor might order cytokine panels (IL-6, TNF-α) or oxidative stress markers.
Dietary changes can impact inflammatory markers within 2-4 weeks, while lifestyle modifications may take 6-12 weeks to show measurable effects. CRP levels can decrease by 20-40% with consistent anti-inflammatory diet changes. Weight loss, if needed, provides additional inflammation reduction.
While some level of acute inflammation is normal and healthy, chronic low-grade inflammation can often be significantly reduced through diet, exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep. The goal is to optimize your inflammatory status, not eliminate all inflammation, which plays important roles in healing and immunity.
Chronic inflammation is linked to PCOS (insulin resistance), endometriosis (pelvic inflammation), autoimmune conditions, and cardiovascular disease. Hormonal fluctuations during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause can also influence inflammatory processes, making inflammation management particularly important for women's health.
