  1. aDisease duration is defined as the time from the clinical diagnosis of lipodystrophy to the date of last follow-up. Diabetes duration is defined as the time from the diagnosis of diabetes to the date of last follow-up. ROC analysis is used to determine potential predictors of diabetic foot ulcers among patients with lipodystrophy.
