[Obesity as a risk factor in diabetic retinopathy]

The relations between the glucidic and lipidic metabolism fatness and diabetes are known for a long time. The fatness as a factor of risk for the diabetic retinopathy and consecutively for the appearance of the cecity have less been studied. There are studied the variations of lipids, cholesterol, the fatness (for 3 degrees by Broca) for a group of diabetic patients, type I or II, the age of the patients (between 18-80 years old) there are presented the retinal modifying: arterial, venous, microaneurysm, haemorrhages, the macular modifying. In comparison to the normoponderal diabetic patients, for these who are fat patients especially I or II degree, all the modifying are exaggerated. There was chosen the fatness from the lots of the factors of diabetes'risk, because I think it may be influenced. The treatments of retinopathy are few and less encourage. The doxium and the photocoagulation could eventually make the cecity to be late but they belong to the group of treatment, but it is not a prophylactic element for cecity. The real prophylaxis has to begin since the childhood with a normocaloric food diet. The prophylaxis of the diabetes is the true prophylaxis of the cecity.
