[Prevalence and risk factors associated with diabetic retinopathy in Santander. Northern Spain].

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of DR, compared with former studies, has decreased to 8.56%; this decrease is associated with the improvement in the control of modifiable risk factors. The associated independent risk factors were: treatment, body mass index, duration and control of diabetes. The variables antihypertensive treatment, cardiovascular events and nephropathy showed predictive value for DR. PMID: 31109720 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
