Vitamin D deficiency and the risk of diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes in Tibet: a cross-sectional analysis
Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common complications of diabetes worldwide. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of DR in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in Tibet and to identify risk factors that may influence the occurrence of DR.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in a third-class hospital in the Tibet Autonomous Region. The prevalence of DR in hospitalized patients with T2DM was measured. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis and receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis were used to investigate the risk factors for DR.
Results: The prevalence of DR was 29.3%. The duration of diabetes; concentrations of 25-OH-VitD3, hemoglobin, fasting insulin, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, and creatinine; and HOMA-IR were significantly different between DR patients and non-DR patients (all P < 0.05). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression revealed that a longer duration of diabetes and lower 25-OH-VitD3 levels were associated with increased DR risk. RCS analysis suggested overall positive associations of the duration of diabetes and 25-OH-VitD3 concentrations with DR risk (P nonlinearity < 0.05). The turning points for the duration of diabetes and 25-OH-VitD3 concentrations were 5.1 years and 10.6 ng/mL, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve for the combination of the duration of diabetes and 25-OH-VitD3 levels were 79.4%, 69.4% and 0.764, respectively. Conclusions: Given the high prevalence of DR in hospitalized patients with T2DM in Tibet, vitamin D supplementation seems to be important in the prevention of DR to some degree. © The Author(s) 2024.
