Exploring the relationship between grip strength and diabetic nephropathy among U.S. adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional NHANES analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To examine the relationship between grip strength (GS) and diabetic nephropathy (DN).

Materials and methods

Data on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus collected between 2011 and 2014 were obtained from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Demographic characteristics (sex, age, race, marital status, and educational level), clinical measures (smoking status, drinking status, body mass index [BMI], glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c], urinary albumin creatinine ratio [UACR], diabetes duration, and hypertension), and grip strength assessments were collected. The relationship between GS and DN was analyzed using a logistic regression model. Subgroup analyses were showed as forest plots, conducted while accounting for confounding variables.
