Diabetic nephropathy (DN) poses significant health risks and imposes a substantial global disease burden. The association between carotenoid intake and DN remains unclear. Utilizing data from the 2007–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), this study investigates the relationship between multiple carotenoid subtypes and DN, aiming to inform exploratory insights for potential preventive strategies.
