Income-to-Poverty Ratio and Diabetic Retinopathy: Insights from NHANES (1999–2020) in U.S. Adults
Overview Diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains a leading cause of vision impairment worldwide, closely tied to diabetes prevalence and disease management. A recent cross-sectional analysis leveraging NHANES data from 1999 to 2020 explores whether a socioeconomic indicator—the family income to poverty ratio (PIR)—is associated with DR prevalence among U.S. adults aged 20 and older. The study’s…

Adolescent Hyperglycemia in Type 1 Diabetes and Future Neuropathy Risk
Overview: Adolescent hyperglycemia and long-term neuropathy risk New research from the University of Michigan highlights a concerning link: poor blood sugar control during adolescence in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may elevate the risk of developing peripheral neuropathy as adults. This finding adds to the longstanding evidence that sustained hyperglycemia contributes to the complications…
