Corneal biomechanical properties and retinal vascular caliber in children.
PURPOSE To examine the relationship between corneal biomechanical properties and retinal vascular caliber in Singaporean children in a cross-sectional study of 257 healthy subjects from the Singapore Cohort Study of Risk Factors for Myopia. METHODS Corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), central corneal thickness (CCT), and corneal compensated intraocular pressure (IOP(CC)) ...
متن کاملUpdate on retinal vascular caliber
Retinal vessels are the only blood vessels that can be viewed directly, in vivo, repetitively and non-invasively. Retinal vessel caliber is influenced by physiological (age, sex, race, blood pressure, blood glucose, body mass index) and pathological (atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, smoking) determinants. There are studies on large population groups that demonstrate the associations between retin...
متن کاملBirth factors and retinal vascular caliber in a twin study.
Birth Factors and Retinal Vascular Caliber in a Twin Study To the Editor: I read with interest the data from the Twins Eye Study in Tasmania demonstrating associations between birth factors and retinal vascular caliber.1 From these findings, the authors suggest that fetal growth may have adverse influence on the microcirculation. Low growth parameters at birth may not be specific and sensitive ...
متن کاملRelationship of ocular biometry and retinal vascular caliber in preschoolers.
PURPOSE To systematically examine the association between ocular biometry and retinal vascular caliber in Singapore Chinese preschoolers aged 48 to 72 months. METHODS A total of 469 Singapore Chinese children aged 48 to 72 months were recruited through the Strabismus, Amblyopia and Refractive Error Study in Singaporean Chinese Preschoolers (STARS) from 2006 to 2008. According to standardized ...
متن کاملGlycemic index, retinal vascular caliber, and stroke mortality.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is unclear whether diets with high glycemic index (GI) and low cereal fiber (CF) are associated with greater risk of stroke. We aimed to assess the relationship between dietary GI and CF content, retinal microvasculature changes, and stroke-related mortality. METHODS The study consisted of a population-based cohort, 49+ years, examined at baseline (1992 to 1994). At ...
