Severity of diabetic retinopathy severity with renal function and body fat in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A hospital-based cross-sectional study in India
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) severity and renal impairment are important complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, the relationship between them and body fat percentage (BFP) is not known. Hence, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 166 patients aged 30-70 years that measured DR severity, renal function and body fat percentage (BFP) using traditional clinical and anthropometric assessments. This data shows DR severity was related to measurable deterioration in renal parameters and raised body fat percentage (BFP). Thus, we show the understanding of the inter-relationships between microvascular and metabolic-related complications of diabetes. Increased screening earlier may help risk stratify and potentially facilitate comprehensive management of the patient in the clinical setting.
