Purpose: To assess the prevalence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) in very old individuals.
Methods: The population-based Ural Very Old Study consisted of 1526 (81.1%) out of 1882 eligible individuals aged 85 + years.
Background: To explore the prevalence of self-reported unintentional injuries and falls (UIFs) in medium-aged and old populations in Russia and factors associated with them.
Methods: Two population-based studies (Ural Eye and Medical Study (UEMS), Ural Very Old Study (UVOS)) were carried out urban and rural areas in Bashkortostan/Russia. They consisted of 5899 individuals (age: 40+ years) and 1526 participants (age: 85+ years), respectively.
Purpose: To estimate prevalence and associations of keratoconus in populations in Russia with an age from childhood to seniority.
Methods: The study population consisted of the cohorts of 3 population-based studies performed in urban and rural areas within the same geographical region in Bashkortostan/Russia: the Ural Children Eye Study (UCES; age = 6-18 y; n = 4890), the Ural Eye and Medical Study (UEMS; age = >40 y; n = 5314), and the Ural Very Old Study (UVOS; age = >85 y; n = 651). Based on Scheimflug imaging, keratoconus was defined by a keratometric reading of ≥48 diopters (D) in any eye.
Purpose: To investigate the normative data of anterior chamber depth (ACD) and angle (ACA) and their associations in multiethnic cohorts spanning three generations in Russia.
Methods: The study cohort included the participants of three population-based studies performed in urban and rural Bashkortostan/Russia: The Ural Eye and Medical Study (UEMS; age:40+ years), Ural Children Eye Study (UCES; age:6-18 years), and Ural Very Old Study (UVOS; age:85+ years). Using Scheimflug camera-based anterior chamber imaging, we measured ACD and ACA as part of a comprehensive ophthalmological and systemic examination.
Purpose: To assess the prevalence of nonglaucomatous optic nerve atrophy (NGOA) in highly myopic individuals.
Design: Population-based study.
Participants: The Ural Eye and Medical Study included 5899 (80.
Purpose: To assess relationships between ocular biometric parameters in dependence of age and sex in children and adolescents.
Methods: In the Ural Children Eye Study, a school-based cohort study, 4933 children underwent an ophthalmological and general examination.
Results: Complete biometric measurements were available for 4406 (89.
Background: To assess the prevalence of myopia and the distribution of ocular axial length as surrogate for myopic refractive error in school children in a population in Russia.
Methods: The Ural Children Eye Study, a school-based case-control study, was conducted in Ufa/Bashkortostan/Russia from 2019 to 2022 and included 4933 children (age: 9.7±2.
To assess the prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) and Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) in a population in Russia. The population-based Ural Eye and Medical Study was conducted in an urban and rural region in Bashkortostan/Russia and included 5899 (80.5%) out of 7328 eligible persons, aged 40 + years.

Design: Population-based cohort study.
Methods: Participants of the Ural Eye and Medical Study, including 5899 (80.
Background: Despite its marked importance in public health, the prevalence of cognitive impairment (CI) and its associated factors have only rarely been examined in old populations in general or in Russia at all.
Objective: To assess CI prevalence and its determinants in a very elderly population in Russia.
Materials And Methods: The population-based Ural Very Old Study, conducted in rural and urban region in Bashkortostan/Russia, included 1,526 (81.
Information about prevalence and associated factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been scarce for the Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian world region. We assessed prevalence and associated factors of NAFLD in two population-based studies (Ural Eye and Medical Study (UEMS), Ural Very Old Study (UVOS)), which were conducted in rural and urban regions in Bashkortostan/Russia and included participants aged 40 + years and 85 + years, respectively. Defining NAFLD by an absence of regular alcohol consumption, and by abnormally high alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) concentrations or an AST/ALT ratio of > 1.

Methods: Two population-based studies (Ural Eye and Medical Study (UEMS), Ural Very Old Study (UVOS)) were conducted in rural and urban regions in Bashkortostan/Russia and included participants aged 40+ years and 85+ years, respectively.
Results: Out of 5895 UEMS participants, 1572 individuals had MS (prevalence:26.
Purpose: To assess the macular pigment optical density (MPOD) and its associations with ocular and systemic parameters and diseases.
Methods: The population-based study Ural Eye and Medical Study included 5899 (80.5%) out of 7328 eligible individuals.
