[Risk factors of the incidence of late vascular complications of diabetes].
From the follow-up examination of 1329 out of 4420 type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes followed for 17 years, the incidence of micro and macrovascular complications (proteinuria and nephropathy, symptoms of leg vascular disease, ischemic heart disease, and cerebrovascular events, was estimated and related to the levels of baseline-risk variables using logistic regression. For new cases of proteinuria and heavy proteinuria, hyperglycemia was the common predictor (alongside diastolic hypertension, smoking and overweight); hyperglycemia and glycosuria were among significant predictors of leg vascular disease (with duration of diabetes, smoking, male sex, diastolic hypertension, and proteinuria). On the other hand, systolic hypertension and male sex prevailed among factors predicting both ischemic heart disease (with high cholesterol and overweight), and stroke. The data confirm the higher involvement of diabetic milieu in micro than macrovascular incidents, with diabetic foot disease placed in between.
