Core Tip

Core Tip: This cross-sectional analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data, spanning 2005 to 2018, explored the potential correlation between dietary fiber (DF) intake and the prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The study, which involved 6032 participants, reveals that higher DF intake, particularly in the tertile with ≥ 10.1 g/1000 kcal/day, is associated with a statistically significant reduction in DKD incidence. These findings suggest a potential protective effect of increased DF intake against DKD in adults with T2D in the United States. Further investigation is warranted to corroborate these observations.
