| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST Q8R0xFPw. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. This study examines the prevalence of, and risk factors for, diabetic retinopathy in Asian Indian, Chinese, and Creole Mauritians in whom there is an increasing prevalence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). As part of a population-based survey on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius in 1992, glucose tolerance was classified using a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test on 6,553 persons. Subjects with newly diagnosed (n=358) or known diabetes (n=388), and a random sample of one in four subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (n=165), had stereoscopic 45° retinal photographs taken of three fields in the right eye after mydriasis. Photographs were graded according to a modified version of the Airlie House criteria. The prevalence of nonproliferative and proliferative retinopathy was : 14.5% and 0.3%, respectively, in newly diagnosed diabetic subjects ; 42.0% and 2.3%, respectively, in known diabetic subjects ; and 9.1% and 0%, respectively, in persons with impaired glucose tolerance. Muslim Indians had the lowest prevalence of retinopathy (10.8% and 34.0% for new and known diabetes, respectively), but after adjusting for other factors, this was significantly different only to Creoles (18.8% and 53.8%, respectively).
