Low prevalence of retinopathy among Greenland Inuit
To assess the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among persons with diabetes and prediabetes participating in the 2018 Population Health Survey in Greenland (B2018), a follow-up survey of three previous health surveys. Participants were invited to a diabetes complication screening. We assessed...

All participants with DR lived in towns. The mean Inuit genetic admixture was lower among participants with DR.
