Description
You-Fan Peng and colleagues ask, in 2026, whether eating more cholesterol raises the odds of prediabetes, the borderline blood sugar state that precedes diabetes. Many nutrients have been tied to prediabetes risk, but dietary cholesterol itself was unexamined. Data came from a United States national health and nutrition survey spanning 2011 to 2016.
Based on day-long dietary recalls, people with prediabetes reported higher cholesterol intake than those with normal blood sugar. Intake also tracked modestly with fasting glucose and long-term sugar markers across all participants. After adjustment, higher cholesterol intake was independently linked to prediabetes, with odds roughly a quarter higher. The authors suggest limiting dietary cholesterol may help prevention, while noting survey data cannot prove cause.
