Age at Type 2 Diabetes Onset and HOMA Indices Associated with Diabetic Retinopathy Risk

6,996 patient records from Lishui People’s Hospital, China, form a cross-sectional study analyzing the association between HOMA-derived indices and diabetic retinopathy risk, stratified by age at diagnosis. The dataset was authored by Yewen Lin and last updated on May 11, 2026. It contains results identifying 1,360 diabetic retinopathy cases among the participants.

Use Cases

• Modeling diabetic retinopathy risk based on HOMA-IR and HOMA-β indices
• Investigating effect modification by age at type 2 diabetes onset
• Assessing associations in subgroups with renal dysfunction or specific medication use
• Training models for age-stratified screening strategies based on insulin resistance and β-cell function

Strengths

• Includes data from 6,996 patients with type 2 diabetes
• Contains results for 1,360 identified diabetic retinopathy cases
• Provides adjusted odds ratios from multivariable logistic regression

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data is from a single hospital in China, which may limit generalizability
