Gender Differences in the Relationship Between Food Insecurity and Body Mass Index Among Adults in the USA.

Background: In the USA, nearly 40% of adults ≥ 20 years have a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30, and 11% of households are reported as food insecure. In adults, evidence shows women are more likely than men to be food insecure. Among adults with food insecurity, differences in BMI exist between men and women with women reporting higher BMI.

PROGRESSION OF PARTIAL POSTERIOR VITREOUS DETACHMENT OVER TIME.

Purpose: We investigated interindividual differences in the rate of change of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) stage and vitreomacular adhesion area (VMAA). Crosssectional studies demonstrated increasing PVD stage and decreasing VMAA with age, but population-level means may mask interindividual variation in the rate of change.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated PVD stage and VMAA in asymptomatic eyes of subjects who underwent repeated optical coherence tomography screening for high-risk medication use or isolated retinal disease in the fellow eye.

Standard 6-mm Compared with Widefield 16.5-mm OCT for Staging of Posterior Vitreous Detachment.

Purpose: To assess whether 6-mm OCT scans, which image the macula, can distinguish complete from partial posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in comparison with 16.5-mm OCT scans, which image the macula, optic nerve, and mid periphery.

Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.
