Abstract :
The paper examines the factors that lead to retinopathy diabetes. A dataset of 1500 diabetic patients obtained from Madras Diabetes Research Foundation, Chennai was used in the study and 422 patients were found to be retinopathic. The study found that the family history and lipid profiles are insignificant factors causing retinopathy. The study reveals that smoking leads to retinopathy-diabetic rather than alcoholism.

Key-Words / Index Term :
