Incidence of Retinopathy and Associated Risk Factors in Children and Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes in Denmark

Incidence of Retinopathy and Associated Risk Factors in Children and Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes in Denmark

The objective of this study is to clarify the current diabetic status, including development of complications, in a nationwide cohort of type 1 diabetics, who were last examined together in a large study in 1995. These youngsters were originally participating in a nationwide study of children with type 1 diabetes in Denmark back in 1986. The investigators will try to establish risk factors for developing diabetic retinopathy. The investigators will have emphasis on retinal vessel geometry and the possibilities for early detection of reversible retinal changes, and prediction of other vascular complications.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participation in the follow-up study in 1995

Exclusion Criteria:

• No retinal photographs from 1995
