Salus/PCO Faculty Members’ Groundbreaking Research Published 

A groundbreaking research article from two faculty members has been accepted for publication in the high-impact journal Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine. 

Robert Andersson, MSc ‘10, PhD ‘18, FAAO, with Carlo Pelino, OD ‘94, FAAO, have written about their findings from the world’s largest population-based study on long-term care patients, quantifying the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and undiagnosed diabetes based on clinical ocular findings. 

According to Dr. Andersson, the new data about the magnitude of undiagnosed diabetes among long-term patients reveals an existing health disparity and the importance of eye care in elderly long-term patients. The results are timely, he said, because they complement the existing studies done among those without diabetes.
