[Clinical and statistical study of 843 hospitalized diabetics].
A retrospective cross study of 843 hospitalized diabetics is reported. The heterogeneity of the sample was obviated to some extent by subdividing it into age, duration and diabetes mellitus treatment groups. The major part of the sample consisted of elderly patients presenting the characteristic correlations between hyperglycaemia, overweight and triglyceridaemia common to insulin-resistant diabetes. Impairment of the cardiovascular system and particularly the coronary circulation, was particularly serious. Stress is laid on the need to standardize study of the diabetic in the interests of a correct, epidemiological and clinical approach to the disease.
