Abstract：Objective To investigate the relation between diabetic retinopathy(DR) and serum vitamin D level/vitamin D deficiency in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and risk factors of DR.Methods Totally 110 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients who were admitted from January 1,2014 to December 31,2016 in Rocket Force General Hospital of Chinese People's Liberation Army were enrolled.The patients were divided into diabetes group(NDR group,n =77) and DR group (n =33) according to results of fundus photography.Basic clinical data,comorbidities and biochemical parameters were analyzed.Results There were no significant differences of basic clinical data,serum vitamin D level[(10 ±6) μg/L vs (10 ±6) μg/L] and ratio of vitamin D deficiency [90.9％ (30/33) vs 85.7％ (66/77)] between groups(P ＞ 0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that vitamin D level and vitamin D deficiency were not related to occurrence of DR (P ＞ 0.05);age and family history of diabetes were risk factors of DR (β =0.064,1.303;P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion In patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes,incidence of DR is associated with age and family history of diabetes but not with vitamin D level and vitamin D deficiency.
