Patients with Type 1 Diabetes (T1DM) have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. This study used carotid ultrasound to identify subclinical carotid plaques and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to evaluate ophthalmological markers as predictors of carotid plaque presence in 242 adults with T1DM, employing machine learning models for early risk assessment. Individuals with carotid plaques (N = 67) did not show significant differences in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell layer (GCL) and inner plexiform layer (IPL) complex compared to those without (N = 175).

To investigate whether retinal arterial narrowing is associated with incident carotid plaque in the general population. Individuals without carotid plaque in 2014 who developed new-onset carotid plaque in 2018 were selected as cases (n = 156) for the atherosclerosis group and matched for age and sex in a ratio of 1:1 for the control group. The effects of the baseline central retinal arteriolar equivalent (CRAE), central retinal venular equivalent (CRVE), and arteriovenous ratio (AVR) on the risk of new-onset carotid plaque were evaluated in multivariable conditional logistic regression models.

Background: Currently, the prevalence of diabetes is rising. Patients with diabetes often face high risks of kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and retinal disease. Cardiovascular complications are the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Cortical amyloid burden is associated with neuronal and vascular abnormalities. The retina shares significant structural and physiological similarities with the brain. This study assessed the association of retinal microstructural and microvascular signs with cortical amyloid burden in the prospective Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities-Positron Emission Tomography study.

Aging leads to progressive decline in organ and tissue integrity and function, partly due to loss of proteostasis and autophagy malfunctioning. A decrease with age in chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a selective type of lysosomal degradation, has been reported in various organs and cells from rodents and humans. Disruption of CMA recapitulates features of aging, whereas activating CMA in mice protects against age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's, retinal degeneration and/or atherosclerosis.
