Abstract
Introduction
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is recognized as a significant complication of diabetes and continues to be a prominent contributor to global blindness. Epidemiological investigations have pinpointed various lifestyle risk factors accountable for the onset and progression of DR. However, pinpointing the most influential factors is challenging due to variability in ethnic background, study design, and sample size in previous research.
Methodology
In the present study, a systematic and comprehensive review was conducted to identify significant factors contributing to DR development. Following the PRISMA guidelines, 322 articles were screened, and six articles discussing various lifestyle factors were included.
Result
Elevated blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia), abnormal lipid profiles (dyslipidemia), high blood pressure (hypertension), and the duration of diabetes have been identified as the predominant lifestyle risk factors associated with the development and progression of DR. Furthermore, male gender was also linked to the occurrence of DR.
Conclusion
While gender is beyond control, the other identified factors associated with DR can be managed through improved eating habits and regular exercise. Future investigations should prioritize exploring the collective influence of these factors on the development and progression of DR.
摘要 引言 糖尿病视网膜病变（DR）被认为是糖尿病的一个重要并发症，并且仍然是导致全球失明的一个主要因素。流行病学调查指出了导致糖尿病视网膜病变发生和发展的各种生活方式风险因素。然而，由于以往研究的种族背景、研究设计和样本大小存在差异，要准确找出最具影响力的因素具有挑战性。 研究方法 在本研究中，我们进行了系统而全面的回顾，以确定导致 DR 发展的重要因素。按照 PRISMA 指南筛选了 322 篇文章，并纳入了 6 篇讨论各种生活方式因素的文章。 结果 血糖水平升高（高血糖）、血脂异常（血脂异常）、高血压和糖尿病持续时间被确定为与 DR 的发生和发展相关的主要生活方式风险因素。此外，男性性别也与 DR 的发生有关。 结论 虽然性别是无法控制的，但其他已确定的与 DR 相关的因素可以通过改善饮食习惯和定期锻炼来控制。未来的研究应优先探索这些因素对 DR 的发生和发展的共同影响。
