The epidemiology of diabetes complications study. IV. Correlates of diabetic background and proliferative retinopathy.
Jill N Kostraba,Ronald Klein,Janice S. Dorman,Dorothy J. Becker,Allan L. Drash,Raelene E. Maser,Trevor J. Orchard +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that diabetic nephropathy may contribute to the development of proliferative (but not background) retinopathy by increasing blood pressure and fibrinogen, by altering the lipoprotein profile, and possibly through other mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intraocular Pressure and Cardiovascular Risk Variables
Barbara E.K. Klein,Ronald Klein +1 more
TL;DR: Intraocular pressure was correlated positively with systemic blood pressure in all groups and with hematocrit reading, sedimentation rate, pulse rate, and serum cholesterol level was not consistent in the four race-sex groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinal vessel diameters and risk of hypertension: the Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Ryo Kawasaki,Ning Cheung,Jie Jin Wang,Jie Jin Wang,Ronald Klein,Barbara E.K. Klein,Mary Frances Cotch,A. Richey Sharrett,Steven Shea,F.M. Amirul Islam,Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong +11 more
TL;DR: Findings from this multiethnic population confirm that narrower retinal arteriolar diameter and wider venular diameter are associated with the development of hypertension independent of traditional risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sunlight and the 10-year incidence of age-related maculopathy the beaver dam eye study
TL;DR: No relationships were found between UV-B exposure, winter leisure time spent outdoors, skin sun sensitivity, or number of bad sunburns experienced by the time of the baseline examination and the 10-year incidence and progression of ARM or its associated lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-related macular degeneration and risk for stroke.
Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong,Ronald Klein,Cong Sun,Paul Mitchell,David Couper,Hong Lai,Larry D. Hubbard,A. Richey Sharrett +8 more
TL;DR: The relationship between AMD and incident clinical stroke in a large, population-based cohort of men and women is described and the likelihood that early AMD is a risk factor for stroke is increased.
