Association between fat-to-muscle ratio and diabetic kidney disease: a nationwide NHANES analysis with real-world validation
This NHANES-based study identified a robust association between FMR and DKD prevalence, along with all-cause and CVD mortality. Importantly, these associations were further supported by an independent real-world clinical cohort, underscoring the robustness and generalizability of our findings. Optimizing FMR may play a pivotal role in improving the prognosis of DKD patients.
