Association between drinking patterns and diabetic kidney disease in United States adults: a cross-sectional study based on data from NHANES 1999-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between drinking patterns and prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) among adults in the United States.

Methods

Data were analyzed from the NHANES surveys conducted between 1999 and 2016, including 26,473 participants. Drinking patterns were categorized by frequency (weekly, monthly, or yearly) and quantity (light, moderate, or heavy, based on daily consumption). Among participants with diabetes, DKD was defined using the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR ≥30 mg/g) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m²). Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations, adjusting for potential confounders across the four models. Subgroup analyses wer
