Journal ArticleDOI
Cause-specific mortality in a population-based study of diabetes.
TL;DR: Diabetic persons experience very high mortality, especially from vascular diseases, compared to the general population, and age-sex standardized mortality ratios in a geographically defined population of younger onset and older onset diabetic persons are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinal Arteriolar Narrowing and Risk of Diabetes Mellitus in Middle-aged Persons
Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong,Ronald Klein,A. Richey Sharrett,Maria Inês Schmidt,James S. Pankow,David Couper,Barbara E.K. Klein,Larry D. Hubbard,Bruce Bartholow Duncan +9 more
TL;DR: Retinal arteriolar narrowing is independently associated with risk of diabetes, supporting a microvascular role in the development of clinical diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Alternative Method of Grading Diabetic Retinopathy
Ronald Klein,Barbara E.K. Klein,Yvonne L. Magli,Stacy M. Meuer,Scot E. Moss,Matthew D. Davis +5 more
TL;DR: A system for grading the severity of diabetic retinopathy that is a rapid, relatively inexpensive, and standardized alternative to the more detailed Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) system is presented; data is presented on its reproducibility; and it is compared to the detailed ETDRS grading system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormalities of Retinal Microvascular Structure and Risk of Mortality From Ischemic Heart Disease and Stroke
Nicholas Witt,Tien Yin Wong,Alun D. Hughes,Nish Chaturvedi,Barbara E.K. Klein,Richard Evans,Mary McNamara,Simon A. McG. Thom,Ronald Klein +8 more
TL;DR: A detailed assessment of the retinal microvascular network from digitized photographs may be useful in the noninvasive assessment of target organ damage and cardiovascular risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinal vessel diameters and their associations with age and blood pressure.
Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong,Ronald Klein,Barbara E.K. Klein,Stacy M. Meuer,Larry D. Hubbard +6 more
TL;DR: The weaker association of retinal arteriolar diameters and BP in older people may reflect greater sclerosis of the retinal arteries preventing a degree of narrowing with higher BP similar to that seen in younger persons.
