Risk of Microvascular Complications and Macrovascular Risk Factors in Early-Onset Type 1 Diabetes after at Least 10 Years Duration: An Analysis of Three Population-Based Cross-Sectional Surveys in Germany between 2009 and 2016

Figure 2

Risk of at least one diabetes-related complication in relation to different exposures. Risk of retinopathy, nephropathy, hypertension, or dyslipidemia (event = yes) in relation to diabetes duration ((a) ), HbA1c ((b) ), body mass index standard deviation scores ((c) ), and the socioeconomic status index (Winkler index) ((d) ) with 95% confidence bands at 12.4-year diabetes duration. The risk was estimated from separate log-binomial regression models for each exposure with the composite endpoint as the binary dependent variable and diabetes duration, sex, and the respective exposure as independent variables. Continuous variables were included as natural cubic splines with three equally spaced knots. Different N are due to missing values in the exposure variables.
