Resumen

OSORIO ILLAS, Lisis; PAISAN RIZO, Wendy Miguel  y  HITCHMAN BARADA, Dora L.. Risk factors associated with diabetic retinopathy in type II diabetic patients. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2006, vol.22, n.1. ISSN 0864-2125.

An observational, analytical, retrospective case-control study was conducted among 40 patients aged 30 or over diagnosed as type II diabetic patients that were referred to the Ophthalmology office of Upata, in Piar municipality, State of Bolivar, in Venezuela, from April to August 2005. Obesity, arterial hypertension, time of evolution of diabetes mellitus of 10 years and more, pathological family history and the altered lipid profile were established as risk factors among the different variables analyzed. It was concluded that a time of evolution of diabetes of 10 years or over and an altered lipid profile increased the risk for developing diabetic retinopathy in 5.7 and 8.5 times, respectively, showing a causal association with a statistical probability < 0.05.

Palabras clave : Diabetic retinopathy; type II diabetes mellitus; arterial hypertension; epidemiology; risk factors.
