Percentage of diabetic complications in the presence and absence of particular risk factors. The percentage of women and men with nephropathy (A), peripheral neuropathy (B) and retinopathy (C) is shown for several patient subgroups. The significance of the differences between patient subgroups in the presence and absence of particular risk factors was calculated and is indicated by asterisks (* P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001). 2A: The risk for the development of nephropathy increased significantly in obese men, hyperlipidaemic women and hypertensive male and female patients compared with normal weight men, normolipidaemic women and normotensive male and female patients. 2B: There was a significantly more frequent occurrence of peripheral neuropathy in hyperlipidaemic women than in normolipidaemic women. 2C: Retinopathy was observed significantly more often in male and female patients with a longer duration of disease, in women with poor glycaemic control, in obese men, and in hypertensive men and women compared with patients in the respective subgroups without these risk factors.
