The purpose of this follow-up study was conducted to assess the incidence and risk factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among type 2 diabetics in Kinmen, Taiwan. A penal of eye screening regimes were performed yearly for 971 type 2 diabetics by two senior ophthalmologists using indirect ophthalmoscopy and 45-degree color fundus photography to examine fundus after dilating pupils from 1999 to 2002. 74.7% (725/971) of diabetics had been screened at least two times during this period. Among the 548 type 2 diabetics who had no DR at first screening, 93 subjects developed any type of DR. The 3-year cumulative incidence was 18.2% (95% CI : 14.8-21.5%) and incidence density was 6.62% per year (95% CI : 5.36-8.06% per year). Using Cox regression model, HbAlc revealed the significantly dose-response relationship to the development of DR (X2-test for trend=9.41, p140 vs.=200 vs.
