To estimate age- and gender-specific prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to determine the association of type, duration, and treatment of diabetes with the prevalence of DR in adult Latinos. Population-based cross-sectional study. Six thousand three hundred fifty-seven Latinos aged 40 years and older from 6 census tracts in Los Angeles, California. The study cohort consisted of all self-identified Latinos of primarily Mexican ancestry aged 40 years and older residing in 6 census tracts in La Puente, Los Angeles County, California.

Photographs were graded in a masked manner using a modified Airlie House Grading System to assess presence and severity of DR. Prevalence of nonproliferative DR, proliferative DR, and macular edema. Of 1263 participants with definite diabetes mellitus, gradable fundus photographs were available in 1217 participants (96%). Of those 1217 participants, 46.9% had DR. Severe nonproliferative DR and proliferative DR were present in 4.4% and 6.1% of diabetics, respectively. Macular edema was observed in 10.4...Continue Reading
