Background: diabetes mellitus is one of the ten leading causes of death in the world. As its prevalence increases, the risk of the onset of diabetic retinopathy increases too.
Objective: to characterize the diabetic population older than 60 years with presence of signs of diabetic retinopathy, treated at the outpatient department of ophthalmology of the health district of Puerto Padre, from June 2016 to December 2017.
Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 116 patients with some degree of diabetic retinopathy, seen at the department herein mentioned and during the period of time already declared. The following variables were assessed: age, sex, skin color, general pathological history, history of eye diseases, time of progress of diabetes and classification of diabetic retinopathy. The data were analyzed according to descriptive statistics.
Results: more than a third of the population was women and 13,8 % were men; the 70 to 79 age group in both sexes was the most representative one. 32 patients were type 1 diabetics, treated with insulin, and 67 were type 2, with different types of oral hypoglycemics; a small group used combined treatment. The time of progress of the disease of more than 20 years and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy in any of its forms predominated. Glaucoma and senile cataract were the most representative eye diseases. Hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia were the most frequent general diseases.
Conclusions: the sample of patients older than 60 years with presence of signs of diabetic retinopathy was characterized.
