- Study investigates the link between HEI-2020 and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients.
- Analysis based on NHANES data (2007-2018) involving 4255 T2D participants, with a DKD prevalence of 34.7%.
- Higher HEI-2020 scores associated with lower DKD prevalence (OR=0.982, P<0.001).
- No nonlinear relationship found between HEI-2020 and DKD (P-non-linear=0.970).
- Dairy products, total protein foods, and total vegetables identified as most influential dietary components.
- Significant negative correlation observed in previously diagnosed T2D patients, but not in newly diagnosed ones.
- Sensitivity analysis confirmed robustness of the findings.
- Findings highlight the importance of diet in managing DKD risk in T2D patients.
