Objective The main aim of the present study was to examine the association between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII ® ) and academic performance in children. Design School-based cross-sectional study. The DII was calculated based on dietary information obtained from a single 24h dietary recall. Academic performance was assessed by school records provided by the administrative services (i.e. Maths and Language). Setting Porto area (Portugal). Subjects A total of 524 children (277 girls) aged 11·56 ( sd 0·86) years. Results The DII was associated with academic indicators (standardized β values ranging from −0·121 to −0·087; all P P Conclusions The inflammatory potential of diet may negatively influence academic performance. Children should avoid the consumption of a pro-inflammatory diet and adhere to a more anti-inflammatory diet to achieve academic benefits
