title: [Chronology of complications from diabetes in adults. The Raval Sud study].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective of the study is to accomplish an analysis of the prevalence of the diabetic complications in relationship to the evolution years of the Diabetes Mellitus Non-Insulin-Dependent (DMNID).
  
  
  METHODS
  It is designing a transverse descriptive study through a random sampling among the population with DMNID of our center (n = 315). In addition to the age, the sex and the year of the diagnostic, is studied the presence of microangiopathy (retinopathy and nephropathy), macroangiopathy (peripheric, cerebral and coronary disease) and of the complications by diabetic neuropathy (NP) (peripheral and vegetative).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The prevalence global obtained for each complication was the following: Retinopathy: 33%, Nephropathy: 17%, peripheric vasculopathy: 21%, cerebral vasculopathy: 10%, coronary disease: 14%, peripheral neuropathy: 40%, vegetative neuropathy: 20%. It is analysing the relationship among the presence of the complications with the age, the sex and the years from the diagnosis of the DMNID.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Except in the coronary disease (possibly by the mortality of the process), the other complications showed a clear increase to the evolution years of the DMNID. 52% of the diabetics were already presenting some complication in the moment of the diagnostic.
