Abstract
Purpose: To examine the 5-year incidence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and its associated factors in an adult Chinese population.
Methods: The Tongren Health Care Study included individuals attending regular health care check-up examinations in the Beijing Tongren Hospital. Baseline examinations were performed from 2014 to 2015, with 5-year follow-up examinations conducted between 2019 and 2020. Fundus photographs were graded according to the Beckman Initiative guidelines.
Results: A total of 5658 participants with gradable photographs at both examinations were included in the study, comprising 58.0% women, with a mean age of 54.9 ± 11.0 years. The 5-year incidence of any, early, intermediate, and late AMD were 6.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.5%-6.8%), 5.0% (95% CI, 4.4%-5.6%), 3.4% (95% CI, 2.9%-3.9%), and 0.3% (95% CI, 0.2%-0.4%), respectively. In multivariate analysis, incident early AMD was associated with older age (P < 0.001; odds ratio [OR], 1.04; 95% CI, 1.02-1.06), female sex (P = 0.011; OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.08-1.86), and a higher estimated glomerular filtration rate (P = 0.020; OR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.02-1.30), whereas having diabetes was a protective factor (P = 0.019; OR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.41-0.92). Incident intermediate AMD was associated with older age (P < 0.001; OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.04-1.07), a higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (P < 0.001; OR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.38-2.83) and a lower triglyceride level (P = 0.008; OR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.64-0.93).
Conclusions: A higher estimated glomerular filtration rate level was a risk factor for incident early AMD. A higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level and lower triglyceride level were risk factors for incident intermediate AMD. This finding may point to the role of renal circulation and lipid metabolism in incident AMD.
Translational relevance: This community-based longitudinal study may provide a valuable understanding of AMD and its associated factors for targeted prevention and management strategies.
期刊介绍:
Translational Vision Science & Technology (TVST), an official journal of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), an international organization whose purpose is to advance research worldwide into understanding the visual system and preventing, treating and curing its disorders, is an online, open access, peer-reviewed journal emphasizing multidisciplinary research that bridges the gap between basic research and clinical care. A highly qualified and diverse group of Associate Editors and Editorial Board Members is led by Editor-in-Chief Marco Zarbin, MD, PhD, FARVO.
The journal covers a broad spectrum of work, including but not limited to:
Applications of stem cell technology for regenerative medicine,
Development of new animal models of human diseases,
Tissue bioengineering,
Chemical engineering to improve virus-based gene delivery,
Nanotechnology for drug delivery,
Design and synthesis of artificial extracellular matrices,
Development of a true microsurgical operating environment,
Refining data analysis algorithms to improve in vivo imaging technology,
Results of Phase 1 clinical trials,
Reverse translational ("bedside to bench") research.
TVST seeks manuscripts from scientists and clinicians with diverse backgrounds ranging from basic chemistry to ophthalmic surgery that will advance or change the way we understand and/or treat vision-threatening diseases. TVST encourages the use of color, multimedia, hyperlinks, program code and other digital enhancements.
