Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors for open-angle glaucoma. The Barbados Eye Study.

TL;DR: Age, male gender, high intraocular pressure, and family history of open-angle glaucoma were major risk factors; the latter association was stronger in men than women and the role of vascular risk factors is consistent with the finding of low blood pressure to intraocular Pressure relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors for incident open-angle glaucoma: the Barbados Eye Studies.

TL;DR: Findings indicate a multifactorial etiology of OAG and suggest that similar risk factors apply across populations, where the established factors of older age, higher IOP, and family history contributed to risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Lens Opacities Case-Control Study. Risk factors for cataract.

TL;DR: Dietary intake of riboflavin, vitamins C, E, and carotene, which have antioxidant potential, was protective for cortical, nuclear, and mixed cataract; intake of niacin, thiamine, and iron also decreased risk.

Journal Article

Incidence of Open-Angle Glaucoma: The Barbados Eye Studies

TL;DR: Results substantiate the high OAG risk in the population of African origin, especially in older adults; the relative role of intraocular pressure; and the considerable underdetection of new disease after 4 years of follow-up.
