A cross-sectional analysis of dietary selenium intake and type 2 diabetes risk in adults: insights from NHANES 2011–2016
Both insufficient and excessive dietary selenium intake may elevate the risk of T2DM, with an optimal range identified through non-linear modeling. Targeted selenium recommendations for obese individuals could mitigate diabetes risk, though longitudinal studies are needed to confirm causality. These findings highlight the importance of personalized nutrition strategies in high-risk populations.
