Distinct associations between dietary omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids intake with chronic kidney disease in adults with and without diabetes: A cross-sectional study

•Polyunsaturated fatty acids are recommended for dietary management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), although there is little evidence.•We explored the relationship of polyunsaturated fatty acids intake with CKD according to glycemic status.•Low omega-3 intake and high omega-6–to–omega-3 ratio were associated with CKD only in participants with diabetes.•These results may lead to tailored approaches for dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids to prevent CKD.
