PURPOSE: Diabetic retinopathy and stroke are both vascular pathologies, and this study intends to investigate the relationship between diabetic retinopathy and stroke.

METHODS: The NHANES database was used to find the relationship between diabetic retinopathy and stroke with 1948 individuals aged 40 years or older. The sensitivity of the data was verified by multiple interpolation, further analysis was done by subgroup analyses, and possible links were investigated with mediation studies.

RESULTS: Diabetes retinopathy was found to be closely associated with stroke, with the PDR group having a higher stroke incidence than the NPDR group. After controlling for covariates, there were still substantial differences in the risk of stroke among patients with NPDR and PDR. Overall, subgroup analysis revealed DR group showed an important distinction, compared to the non-DR (OR = 1.76, 95% CI 1.15-2.64). The results of the mediation research indicated that the connection between DR and stroke was mediated by the frailty index and hypertension.

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated a statistically significant correlation between DR and stroke, which persisted even after DR staging and was more prevalent in PDR patients than in NPDR patients. Stroke prevention may benefit from DR health management.
