Risk prediction of diabetic retinopathy based on visit-to-visit fasting blood glucose indices.

Objective: The long-term glucose monitoring is essential to the risk assessment of diabetic retinopathy (DR), the aim of this study was to investigate the predictive ability of visit-to-visit fasting blood glucose (FBG) indices on the risk of DR.

Methods: This was a community-based, cohort study conducted from 2013 to 2021. DR was diagnosed by digital fundus photography.

Relationship of retinal capillary plexus and ganglion cell complex with mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

Objective: To investigate relationship of the retinal capillary plexus (RCP) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia in a community-based study1.

Methods: This cross-sectional study incorporated the participants of the Jidong Eye Cohort Study. Optical coherence tomography angiography was performed to obtain RCP vessel density and GCC thickness with detailed segments.

Age- and sex-related differences in the retinal capillary plexus in healthy Chinese adults.

Background: To assess age- and sex-related changes in the superficial retinal capillary plexus (SCP) and deep retinal capillary plexus (DCP) in healthy Chinese adults.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, all data were derived from the community-based Jidong Eye Cohort Study. Participants underwent optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and other ocular and systemic examinations.

Association of self-reported snoring with decreased retinal thickness and vessel density.

Self-reported snoring has been reported to influence nerves and vessels. However, there are few direct evidences of snoring related to nerves and microvessels defects. Therefore, we evaluated the association of self-reported snoring with retinal structure and microcirculation.

Decreased Vessel Density in Retinal Capillary Plexus and Thinner Ganglion Cell Complex Associated With Cognitive Impairment.

Background: To determine the association of the retinal capillary plexus (RCP) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) with cognitive impairment using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Methods: A cross-sectional, community-based study utilizing data from the participants enrolled between August 2019 and January 2020 in the Jidong Eye Cohort Study. We assessed the vessel density in RCP and GCC thickness using OCTA, and cognitive testing using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).

Association of Serum Uric Acid With Retinal Capillary Plexus.

Background: To determine the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and the retinal capillary plexus (RCP) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated data from August 2019 to January 2020 from participants recruited from the Jidong community (Tangshan, Hebei, China). All participants completed detailed anthropometrical measurements, laboratory tests and comprehensive ophthalmic examinations.

Association of cigarette smoking with retinal capillary plexus: an optical coherence tomography angiography study.

Purpose: To investigate the association between cigarette smoking and retinal capillary plexus (RCP) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and to examine whether potential vascular risk factors could impact their association.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional, community-based study. The Jidong Eye Cohort Study included participants aged ≥18 years in the Jidong community (Tangshan city, northern China) from August 2019 to January 2020.
