We assessed association between DR with the following variables: age, sex, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), duration of DM, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and microalbuminuria.Results: There were 341 patients (female, 58.9%; mean age, 55.3 \u00b1 11.9 years) with a mean duration of DM of 9.4 \u00b1 7.4 years and mean serum HbA1c of 8.4% \u00b1 1.9%. The overall prevalence of any DR was 22.6% (95% confidence interval, 18.8\u201327.1) with prevalence rates of 4.1% (95% confidence interval, 2.1\u20136.4) for proliferative DR and 9.7% (95% confidence interval, 6.8\u201313.2) for vision-threatening DR. Multivariate analysis showed that DR was significantly associated with certain age groups (reduced in older age groups), longer duration of DM (11 years or more), poor control (HbA1c &gt;9.0%) and presence of any microalbuminuria.Conclusions: DR affects one in five patients with DM in Brunei Darussalam, comparable to rates reported for other Asian populations. It is especially worrying that one in ten patients with DM had vision-threatening DR. DR was significantly associated with longer duration of DM, poor control and presence of microalbuminuria but reduced in older age groups. It is important to advocate good control right from the time of diagnosis of DM and institute timely and effective management of retinopathy. DR was significantly associated with longer duration of DM, poor control of diabetes, and presence of microalbuminuria but reduced in older age groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3341\/kjo.2021.0040","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,8]],"date-time":"2021-11-08T06:32:16Z","timestamp":1636353136000},"page":"26-35","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3341\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Prevalence
