| | English translation:(itt) "factor" ("kórképző" akar lenni) | Explanation:
Katalin is correct that in most cases "clinical picture" (or "profile") would be a good translation of this term: the description of all factors causing a disease or syndrome, and the effects it then has on the system.
Here, though, context - particularly the phrase "egyik meghatározó" - leads me to think that what the author is describing is a "determining factor" in the development of disease, and that what the author really means to say is "kórképző".
"It is important to note that diabetes is a (or "one of the") determining factor in the development of cardiovascular disease."

Well, I just can't stop mulling this over. I really think that some kind of cut-and-paste happened here - if the above is not correct, then the original sentence may have looked like this:
" hogy a szív és érrendszeri megbetegedések kialakulásában szerepet játszó diabetes egyik meghatározó kórkép"
in that case you might keep "kórkép" and render it as "one of the dominant disease profiles" |
