TL;DR: Prevalence of MD in this cohort of Chinese Americans was higher than that observed in other East Asian populations and in people of other ethnicities, indicating that a high proportion of Chinese American might be at risk for MD and associated visual complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pronounced microgliosis and neurodegeneration in aged rats after tau gene transfer
TL;DR: Gene transfer efficiency was similar for both ages, but the tau vector caused more dopaminergic cell loss and a greater behavioral deficit in aged rats at specific doses and time points, validating the model for studies of age-related diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Charumathi Sabanayagam,Weng Kit Lye,Ronald Klein,Barbara E.K. Klein,Mary Frances Cotch,Jie Jin Wang,Paul Mitchell,Jonathan E. Shaw,Elizabeth Selvin,A. Richey Sharrett,Tien Yin Wong +10 more
TL;DR: Wider retinal venules but not narrower retinal arterioles were associated with a modestly increased risk for diabetes, but in subgroup analyses, the association was stronger in men than in women but was consistent across subgroups of race/ethnicity, smoking status, hypertension and BMI categories.
Journal Article

Monique S. Roy,Ronald Klein +1 more
TL;DR: Macular edema and hard exudates are common in African Americans with type 1 diabetes, particularly in patients with evidence of renal disease, and are significantly associated with older age at examination, longer duration of diabetes, and severity of diabetic retinopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity and the risk of progression of retinopathy or the development of proliferative retinopathy
TL;DR: Physical activity does not appear to be associated with either an increased or decreased risk of progression of Retinopathy or the development of proliferative retinopathy in people with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
