Dietary iron intake predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with diabetes

C. Yang, T. Hu, et al.

This study by Chenchen Yang, Tingting Hu, Chenglin Li, and Aifeng Gong explores an intriguing link between dietary iron intake and mortality in diabetic individuals. With data from over 5,900 participants, it reveals a surprising nonlinear relationship suggesting an optimal iron intake range and differing effects on gender. Uncover the complexities of iron intake and its impact on health!

Abstract
This study investigated the correlation between dietary iron intake and mortality in diabetic individuals. Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2014) encompassing 5970 participants, Cox proportional hazard models analyzed the association between iron intake and all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality. Results showed a nonlinear relationship between iron intake and all-cause mortality, with an optimal intake range of 11.1-14.4 mg/day. Higher iron intake might increase all-cause mortality risk in men, while potentially offering a protective effect in women. No significant association was found between iron intake and cardiovascular or cancer mortality.
