Correlation Between Prognostic Nutritional Index and Heart Failure in Adults with Diabetes in the United States: Study Results from NHANES (1999-2016).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between diabetes and heart failure significantly impacts public health. This study assessed the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) as a predictor of heart failure risk in adult diabetic patients.

Methods

An analysis was performed on 1823 diabetic adults using data collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 1999 and 2016. Serum albumin levels and lymphocyte counts were combined to calculate the PNI. We used descriptive statistics categorized by PNI quartiles and performed multivariate logistic regression to adjust for variables including age, gender, ethnicity, and coexisting medical conditions.

Results

The median age (mean ± SD) was 59.942 ± 12.171 years, and the mean value ± SD of the PNI was 52.41
