title: [The morbidity of chronic diabetic complication with logistic regression analysis of related potential risk factors].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the morbidity and potential risk factors of chronic diabetic complication in Zhejiang province.
  
  
  METHODS
  In the paper the morbidity of diabetic chronic complication was illustrated, using descriptive statistics. The potential risk factors of diabetic chronic complication were studied with logistic regression modeling, using data from a large retrospective study involving 1083 patients from two hospitals in Zhejiang province.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Principal chronic diabetic complications were found to be cardiovascular diseases, ophthalmic diseases, nephropathy, esthetic diseases, plant nerve diseases, cerebral blood vessel diseases, limbsblood vessel diseases and athletic nerve diseases. The principal potential risk factors would include the courses of diabetes and hypertension, age, age being diagnosed, blood pressure, baseline blood glucose, two hour blood glucose after dietary, HBAIC, nitroglycerine, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The analytic method used in the paper was fit for the study of morbidity and potential risk factors of other chronic diseases complication and the discriminant function could be built for clinical diagnosis.
