The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations in Canada: systematic review and meta-analysis
There may be no difference in the prevalence of DR between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians; however, Indigenous Canadians likely have a higher prevalence of VTDR. The uniformly high prevalence across both populations underscores the importance of delivering culturally appropriate diabetes care targeted at reducing risk factors and increasing DR screening in the Canadian community.
