Microvascular and macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes in a multi-ethnic population based in Amsterdam. The HELIUS study

Globally, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is rising [1]. T2D increases the risk of macrovascular complications, such as coronary heart disease (CHD), peripheral artery disease (PAD), and stroke, and microvascular complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy [2,3]. These microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes contribute to repeated hospitalization, disability, and early mortality [4].
