Our knowledge of the etiology of diabetic retinopathy is very limited. Correlation of the time interval between onset of diabetes and diabetic retinopathy as a function of age makes it possible to estimate the degree of resistance of the small vessels to the microangiopathy-inducing agent for the various age groups. Epidemiologic data reveal that, viewed statistically, malignant diabetic retinopathy is relatively rare, and that the life expectancy of blind diabetics is longer than is commonly assumed.
我们对糖尿病视网膜病变病因的了解非常有限。将糖尿病发病与糖尿病视网膜病变之间的时间间隔作为年龄的函数进行关联，使得我们能够估计不同年龄组小血管对微血管病诱发因素的抵抗程度。流行病学数据显示，从统计学角度来看，恶性糖尿病视网膜病变相对罕见，而且失明糖尿病患者的预期寿命比通常认为的要长。
