Table 2.

Prevalence and ORs of retinopathy by age of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and mean A1C category for groups A and B with different durations of diabetes

Retinopathy (%) in group A: duration of type 2 diabetes 20–30 years (n = 624)
Retinopathy (%) in group B: duration of type 2 diabetes 10–12 years (n = 852)
Age of diagnosis (years)
P Age of diagnosis (years)

Data are % unless otherwise indicated. P refers to χ2 analysis of retinopathy prevalence across the different age-of-onset subgroups; Ptrend refers to trend analysis of retinopathy prevalence across different age-of-onset subgroups.
