Journal ArticleDOI

David S. Friedman,O'Colmain Bj,Beatriz Munoz,Sandra C. Tomany,Catherine A. McCarty,de Jong Pt,de Jong Pt,de Jong Pt,Barbara Nemesure,Paul Mitchell,Paul Mitchell,John H. Kempen +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the prevalence and distribution of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the United States by age, race/ethnicity, and gender was estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for incident open-angle glaucoma: the Barbados Eye Studies.
M. Cristina Leske,Suh-Yuh Wu,Anselm Hennis,Anselm Hennis,Robert Honkanen,Barbara Nemesure,Barbara Nemesure +6 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate a multifactorial etiology of OAG and suggest that similar risk factors apply across populations, where the established factors of older age, higher IOP, and family history contributed to risk.

Incidence of Open-Angle Glaucoma: The Barbados Eye Studies
M. Cristina Leske,Anthea M.S Connell,Suh-Yuh Wu,Barbara Nemesure,Xiaowei Li,Andrew P. Schachat,Anselm Hennis +6 more
TL;DR: Results substantiate the high OAG risk in the population of African origin, especially in older adults; the relative role of intraocular pressure; and the considerable underdetection of new disease after 4 years of follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A meta-analysis to examine the association of >3.2 million SNPs with BMI in 39,144 men and women of African ancestry and followed up the most significant associations in an additional 32,268 individuals ofAfrican ancestry provides strong support for shared BMI loci across populations, as well as for the utility of studying ancestrally diverse populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incident open-angle glaucoma and blood pressure.
TL;DR: As baseline IOP increased, the risk of OAG substantially increased, and persons with systemic hypertension at baseline had half the RR, suggesting that hypertension does not increase (and may decrease) the 4-year risk ofOAG.
