Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is a metric that gauges the inflammatory potential of an overall diet. This study explores the association between DII and triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) with ID in reproductive-age women.Methods: This analysis utilized data from 2311 reproductive-age women in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2018. ID was identified using serum ferritin and transferrin receptor (TfR). The association between DII, TyG-BMI and ID was assessed using weighted logistic regression, linear regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models, with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis for diagnostic power. Mediation effects of TyG-BMI were further explored by causal mediation analysis.Results: Among reproductive-age women, both DII and TyG-BMI were significantly positively associated with ID (DII: OR = 1.32, 95% CI 1.19, 1.48; TyG-BMI: OR = 1.13, 95% CI 1.02, 1.35). There is a close relationship between the DII index and TfR (β= 1.17, 95% CI 1.03, 1.13). RCS analysis indicated that the relationships were mostly linear (P-overall < 0.05, P-nonlinear > 0.05). Furthermore, TyG-BMI mediated 5.19%, 12.83%, and 5.63% of the associations between DII and ID, Ferritin, and transferrin receptor (TfR), respectively.Conclusion: The findings suggest that targeted interventions to enhance dietary practices, nutritional intake, and overall metabolic well-being may result in substantial amelioration of ID among reproductive women.Keywords: iron deficiency, reproductive women, dietary inflammatory index, triglyceride glucose-body mass index, insulin resistance
