Risk factors for diabetic retinopathy in young and middle-aged patients: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

To investigate the related risk factors of retinopathy in young and middle-aged diabetic patients in order to improve the prognosis of patients.

Materials and methods

Using clinical practice data from a cohort study at our two research centers, we developed a bivariate logistic regression model to investigate the frightening risk factors potentially for retinopathy in young and middle-aged patients with diabetes, including diabetes type, physical activity level, treatment-related characteristics and laboratory tests.

Results

A total of 453 patients with diabetes were investigated, 197 (43.5%) developed retinopathy. The risk of retinopathy was closely related to place of residence (OR: 0.275, 95% CI: 0.093-0.814), education level (OR: 0.522, 95% CI: 0
