The pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is complex and there are many related risk factors. It is related to the course of diabetes, blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipids, among which the course of disease and hyperglycemia are recognized main risk factors. In addition, other factors which include heredity, gender, age, obesity, pregnancy, insulin use, can also affect the occurrence and development of DR, but there is no unified conclusion about its correlation. A comprehensive understanding of the risk factors that affect DR can provide new ideas for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and intervention of DR.
