In this investigation, the risk factor that arises from diabetic retinopathy was assessed in type 2 diabetes patients. The study is based on a 5-year community-based program, which comprises of 750 participants of the Chinese population. The study comprises general eye examinations, retinopathy assessment, anthropometric and laboratory measurements. The data thus obtained was statistically analyzed and the factors related to Diabetic retinopathy (DR) were deduced. Statistical analysis observed that retinopathy is prone to diabetes patients with high blood pressure and hyperglycemia in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. To conclude, the occurrence of DR was associated in patients with baseline hyperglycemia and high blood pressure. In addition, the DR regression was mostly related to lower baseline glucose and lower serum triglyceride levels among the type 2 diabetes patients in the studied Chinese population.
