Journal ArticleDOI
Hypertension and Retinopathy, Arteriolar Narrowing, and Arteriovenous Nicking in a Population
TL;DR: It is suggested that retinopathy and retinal arteriolar narrowing are common in people with hypertension, and further longitudinal study is necessary to evaluate the public health significance of these retinal lesions regarding possibly increased risk of renal and cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of age-related cataract: the Beaver Dam Eye Study.
TL;DR: Investigating the incidence of nuclear, cortical, and posterior subcapsular cataract in the Beaver Dam Eye Study cohort will help in planning for future care and in investigating the importance of risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early age-related maculopathy in the cardiovascular health study
Ronald Klein,Barbara E.K. Klein,Emily K Marino,Lewis H. Kuller,Curt D. Furberg,Gregory L. Burke,Larry D. Hubbard +6 more
TL;DR: Although an association was found between signs of white matter disease and early ARM, there was no evidence of an association of ARM with either hypertension or inflammatory factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinal Vessel Calibers in Predicting Long-Term Cardiovascular Outcomes: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study.
Sara B. Seidelmann,Brian Claggett,Paco E. Bravo,Ankur Gupta,Hoshang Farhad,Barbara E.K. Klein,Ronald Klein,Marcelo F. Di Carli,Scott D. Solomon +8 more
TL;DR: This article investigated whether retinal vessel calibers are associated with cardiovascular outcomes in long-term follow-up and provided incremental value over the 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association pooled cohort equations (PCE) in predicting Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events (ASCVE).
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Zinc and Antioxidant Nutrients With Age-Related Maculopathy
Julie A. Mares-Perlman,Ronald Klein,Barbara E.K. Klein,Janet L. Greger,William E. Brady,Mari Palta,Linda L. Ritter +6 more
TL;DR: The data are weakly supportive of a protective effect of zinc on the development of some forms of early ARM, and future studies are needed to further evaluate the potential influence of these and other nutritional factors on different types and stages of age-related macular degeneration.
