Journal ArticleDOI
Retinal Microvascular Abnormalities and MRI-Defined Subclinical Cerebral Infarction. The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Lawton S. Cooper,Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong,Ronald Klein,A. Richey Sharrett,R. Nick Bryan,Larry D. Hubbard,David Couper,Gerardo Heiss,Paul D. Sorlie +9 more
TL;DR: Retinal microvascular abnormalities are associated with MRI-defined subclinical cerebral infarcts independent of stroke risk factors, and data suggest that retinal photography may be useful for studying subclinical cerebrovascular disease in population-based studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The incidence of vision loss in a diabetic population.
TL;DR: The 4-year incidence of blindness and vision loss was examined in a population-based study of diabetes mellitus and was associated with older age, more severe retinopathy, and presence of macular edema in the three groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebral microbleeds, retinopathy, and dementia The AGES-Reykjavik Study
Chengxuan Qiu,M. F. Cotch,Sigurdur Sigurdsson,Palmi V. Jonsson,Maria K. Jonsdottir,S. Sveinbjrnsdottir,G. Eiriksdottir,Ronald Klein,T.B. Harris,M.A. van Buchem,Vilmundur Gudnason,L. J. Launer +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that microvascular damage, as indicated by CMBs and retinopathy lesions, has functional consequences in older men and women living in the community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of retinal vascular caliber with diabetes and retinopathy: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).
Thanh T. Nguyen,Jie Jin Wang,A. Richey Sharrett,F.M. Amirul Islam,Ronald Klein,Barbara E.K. Klein,Mary Frances Cotch,Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong +8 more
TL;DR: Retinal arteriolar and venular calibers are larger in individuals with diabetes, but the pattern of associations appears to vary by ethnicity, adding further to the concept that variations in retinal vascular caliber may reflect early diabetic microvascular damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Self-Reported Erectile Dysfunction in People With Long-Term IDDM
TL;DR: Erectile dysfunction was associated with presence of severe diabetic retinopathy, a history of peripheral neuropathy, amputation, cardiovascular disease, a higher glycosylated hemoglobin, use of antihypertensive medications, and higher BMI.
