Diabetes Onset at 31–45 Years of Age is Associated with an Increased Risk of Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract: This hospital-based, cross-sectional study investigated the effect of age of diabetes onset on the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among Chinese type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. A total of 5,214 patients with type 2 DM who were referred to the Department of Ophthalmology at the Shanghai First People’s Hospital from 2009 to 2013 was eligible for inclusion. Diabetic retinopathy status was classified using the grading system of the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS). Logistic and h… Show more

“…This is similar to study on Asian Indians that the onset of T2DM in Asian Indians is earlier than other ethnic groups because 40-69 is considered to be potential age group for normal activities. Therefore, early onset of T2DM is observed in north Indian population and this is similar to other studies also [38].…”

“…Although, drinking and smoking have been observed less, hypertension is significantly observed in this research however, 23% of T2DM subjects have genetic origin also, table 4. All aspects of complications have been analyzed in this research, table 5 with dominant as retinopathy as in other studies [38]. As in this research and other studies, the adjoining areas of the city have migrated people from villages and also have the risk of developing T2DM.…”

“…Education was grouped as below primary (reference), primary, high school, intermediate school, and higher education. Age takes the value of one if greater than or equal to 40 and zero otherwise, as an age of more than 40 years is considered to be the typical age for the onset of diabetes . Gender takes the value of one if the respondent was male and zero for female.…”

“…Genetic determinants of diabetes are likely to be more common in patients with early onset of diabetes 37. This observation suggests that patients with early onset of diabetes have a more aggressive disease and are prone to develop more complications at an earlier age 38. Delaying the age of diabetes might prevent the occurrence of DR.…”
