Dietary iron intake is nonlinearly associated with the risk of diabetic retinopathy in adults with type 2 diabetes
Dietary iron intake was nonlinearly negatively associated with the prevalence of DR and VTDR, showing protective effect against retinopathy of medium-high iron intake in T2D patients. Such associations significantly vary by multiple factors such as age, ethnicity, obesity and glycaemic control.
