To assess the prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy and identify its associated risk factors in individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Conducted a cross-sectional study of 600 individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in Hamedan, Iran (N=600).
Diagnosed diabetic peripheral neuropathy using standardized Neuropathy Symptom Score (NSS) and Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS) criteria.
Identified independent risk factors associated with neuropathy using multiple logistic regression analysis.
The overall prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy was 45.7% (95% CI: 42.6%-48.8%).
