Prevalence and Risk Factors for Diabetic Retinopathy: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008–2011

Abstract

We provide data on the prevalence and risk factors for DR in a representative Korean population. The prevalence of any DR and VTDR in the Korean population was lower than that reported previously. The condition of DR was associated with a longer duration of diabetes, poor glycemic control, and higher systemic blood pressure.
