Journal ArticleDOI
Retinal microvascular changes and MRI signs of cerebral atrophy in healthy, middle-aged people
Tien Yin Wong,Thomas H. Mosley,Ronald Klein,Barbara E.K. Klein,A. R. Sharrett,David Couper,Larry D. Hubbard +6 more
TL;DR: In healthy, middle-aged people, retinopathy is independently associated with sulcal and ventricular enlargement on MRI, compatible with the hypothesis that microvascular characteristics may influence the development of cerebral atrophic changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of PAI-1 and Fibrinogen with Diabetic Retinopathy in the Veterans Affairs Diabetes Trial (VADT)
Nasrin Azad,Lily Agrawal,N. V. Emanuele,Ronald Klein,Gideon D. Bahn,Madeline McCarren,Peter D. Reaven,Rodney A. Hayward,William C. Duckworth +8 more
TL;DR: The results require confirmation but are consistent with greater hypercoagulabilty and inflammation, as measured by higher levels of PAI-1 and fibrinogen, being related to DR and responsiveness to INT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycosylated hemoglobin in a population-based study of diabetes.
TL;DR: Mean glycosylated hemoglobin was found to be associated with retinopathy status but not with proteinuria, and was highest in younger onset persons, and lowest in older onset persons not taking insulin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Retinal Vessel Caliber to Optic Disc and Cup Diameters
TL;DR: Narrower retinal venules and arterioles were found in the smaller optic discs controlling for optic cup diameter as well as age, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, refraction, and sex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensorineural Impairments, Cardiovascular Risk Factors, and 10-Year Incidence of Cognitive Impairment and Decline in Midlife: The Beaver Dam Offspring Study
Carla R. Schubert,Karen J. Cruickshanks,Mary E. Fischer,Alex Pinto,Yanjun Chen,Guan-Hua Huang,Barbara E.K. Klein,Ronald Klein,James S. Pankow,Adam J. Paulsen,Dayna S. Dalton,Ted S. Tweed +11 more
TL;DR: Visual and olfactory impairments, CVRF and CVD were associated with the 10-year cumulative incidence of cognitive impairment and decline in middle-aged adults.
