Metabolic Status Modulates Choroidal Thickness - A Possible Early Indicator for Diabetic Eye Complications?
Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes
December 2022
Article Synopsis
- The study examines how metabolic status affects choroidal thickness (ChT) in healthy individuals, those with obesity, and type 2 diabetes (T2D).
- Results indicate that ChT is greater in obese individuals and those with T2D compared to healthy subjects, with a negative correlation found between ChT and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).
- The findings suggest that body mass index (BMI) and insulin resistance are significant factors influencing ChT, highlighting the need for future research on the connection between metabolic health and eye conditions.
