Association between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) and diabetic kidney disease in patients with diabetes in the United States: a cross-sectional study

Q3	1.02 (0.80, 1.29)	0.08 (-0.09, 0.24)	0.66 (-1.38, 2.70)

After excluding participants of dietary cholesterol > 300 mg, NHHR was analyzed to assess its correlation with DKD, eGFR, and ln(UACR). The covariates used to adjust the model were the same as mentioned above, with the sole exception of the exclusion of dietary cholesterol.
