A sample of 181 diabetics with diabetic retinopathy was statistically investigated with regard to association of smoking with proliferative retinopathy. The numbers of patients with proliferative retinopathy rose with increasing tobacco consumption. In non-smokers no association existed between diabetes duration and proliferative retinopathy, but in smokers the number with proliferative retinopathy rose with increasing diabetes duration.
对181例患有糖尿病性视网膜病变的糖尿病患者样本进行了统计学调查，以研究吸烟与增殖性视网膜病变之间的关联。增殖性视网膜病变患者的数量随着烟草消费量的增加而上升。在不吸烟者中，糖尿病病程与增殖性视网膜病变之间不存在关联，但在吸烟者中，增殖性视网膜病变患者的数量随着糖尿病病程的增加而上升。
