Journal ArticleDOI
The Prevalence of Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Associated Risk Factors
Ronald Klein,Karen J. Cruickshanks,Scott D. Nash,Elizabeth M. Krantz,F. Javier Nieto,Guan-Hua Huang,James S. Pankow,Barbara E.K. Klein +7 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that early AMD is infrequent before age 55 years but increases with age thereafter, and is related to modifiable risk factors, eg, smoking and serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective cohort study of retinal vessel diameters and risk of hypertension
TL;DR: Narrowed retinal arterioles are associated with long term risk of hypertension, suggesting that structural alterations of the microvasculature may be linked to the development of hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sibling correlations and segregation analysis of age-related maculopathy: the Beaver Dam Eye Study.
TL;DR: Sibling correlations were evaluated and segregation analysis was performed on age‐dependent maculopathy scores of the right and left eyes of individuals from 564 families in the Beaver Dam Eye study, finding similar major gene parameter estimates are found for both eyes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and progression of diabetic retinopathy: a systematic review.
Charumathi Sabanayagam,Riswana Banu,Miao Li Chee,Ryan Lee,Ya Xing Wang,Gavin Tan,Jost B. Jonas,Jost B. Jonas,Ecosse L. Lamoureux,Ching-Yu Cheng,Barbara E.K. Klein,Paul Mitchell,Ronald Klein,C M Gemmy Cheung,Tien Yin Wong +14 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that more high-quality population-based studies capturing data on the incidence and progression of diabetic retinopathy with stratification by age and sex are needed to consolidate the evidence base.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frailty, morbidity and survival
TL;DR: Greater frailty was associated with greater likelihood of concurrent medical conditions and with decreased survival over an interval of 412 years after adjusting for age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
