Social risk profiles and diabetic kidney disease: prevalence and mortality in US adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a severe and prevalent complication of diabetes. Social contexts have been increasingly recognized as critical factors in the escalation and ongoing management of chronic diseases, including DKD. This study aimed to evaluate the connection between social risk profile (SRP) and DKD in United States.  METHODS: Data were sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2018). DKD was defined as the coexistence of diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). SRP scores, based on the number of positive measures, were categorized into four quartiles: low (0-2), lower-middle (3-4), upper-middle (5-6), and high (7-8). The associations of SRP with the prevalence and mortality of DKD were assessed.  RESULTS: A total of 6,464 pa
