In 2021, the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) validated a new equation for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). However, this is not ethnic-specific, and prevalence of CKD in Asians known to differ from other ethnicities. This study evaluates impact 2009 2021 creatinine-based eGFR equations on multiple Asian cohorts.Eight population-based studies China, India, Russia (Asian), Singapore South Korea provided individual-level data (n = 67,233). GFR was using...
To assess the prevalence of pseudoexfoliation (PEX) and its associations in a population-based setting.Population-based, cross-sectional study.The Central India Eye Medical Study included 4711 individuals. All study participants underwent detailed ophthalmological examination. After medical pupil dilation, PEX was assessed by an experienced ophthalmologist using slit-lamp based biomicroscopy.Slit lamp examination results were available for 4646 (98.6%) with mean age 49.3 ± 13.3 years (range:...
Purpose Since high myopia in the younger generation may differ etiologically from older generations, we examined whether education-related parameters between today´s school children and pathological elderly generation. Methods The investigation included adult populations of population-based Beijing Eye Study (BES) (3468 adults;mean age:64.6±9.8years;range:50–93years) Central India Medical (CIEMS) (4711 adults;age:49.±13.2years;range:30–100years), teenager Shandong Children (SCES) (6026...
Abstract Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence myopic retinopathy ( MR ) in rural Central India. Methods population‐based India Eye and Medical Study included 4711 subjects (aged 30+ years). participants underwent a detailed eye examination, including fundus photography. Myopic defined according Pathologic Myopia Group. Results Readable photographs were available on 4561 (96.8%) (8846 eyes). present 15 (0.17 ± 0.04%; 95% confidence interval CI ):0.08%, 0.26%) eyes 11...
Aims To determine the prevalence and predictors of myopic macular degeneration (MMD) in a consortium Asian studies. Methods Individual-level data from 19 885 participants four population-based studies, 1379 highly (defined as axial length (AL) >26.0 mm) three clinic-based/school-based studies Eye Epidemiology Consortium were pooled. MMD was graded fundus photographs following meta-analysis for pathologic myopia classification defined presence diffuse choroidal atrophy, patchy...
Purpose To determine the range of intraocular pressure (IOP) in a rural Central Indian population and to evaluate existing identify potential new ocular, medical, socioeconomic factors associated with IOP. Methods This is population-based study carried out Nagpur India. A single IOP measurement was taken using Goldmann applanation tonometry described standard descriptive statistics. Results Of 5885 eligible patients, 9338 eyes 4686 patients were included study. The mean 13.6±3.4 mm Hg...
A bstract Background: To determine the normative data for lens thickness and its associated factors in a population‐based study. Design: Population‐based Participants: The Central India Eye Medical Study included 4711 subjects (aged 30+ years). Methods: underwent detailed ophthalmological examination including measurement of by sonography. Main Outcome Measure: Sonographic measurement. Results: After excluding pseudophakic or aphakic eyes, measurements were available 9046 eyes 4610 (97.9%)...
Obesity is a well-known risk factor for diabetes, but its association with diabetic retinopathy (DR) inconclusive, in particular Asians. We aimed to assess whether body mass index (BMI) associated the presence and severity of DR Asian populations diabetes.Pooled analysis individual-level cross-sectional data from 10 010 adults diabetes who participated 12 population-based studies conducted China, India, Japan, Russia (Asian), Singapore South Korea that were part Eye Epidemiology Consortium...
Abstract. Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate prevalence visual impairment in rural central India. Methods: population‐based Central India Eye and Medical Study included 4711 subjects with an age 30+ years. Presenting acuity (PRVA) best‐corrected (BCVA) were recorded. Visual blindness defined using World Health Organization (WHO) standard United States (US) standard. Results: On basis PRVA WHO US standards, 1049 [22%; 95% confidence interval (CI): 21.1, 23.5] 1290 (27%; CI:...
Purpose To determine intraocular pressure (IOP) range in a rural Indian population and to evaluate existing identify potential new ocular, medical, socioeconomic factors associated with IOP. Methods This is population-based study performed Nagpur Central India. Single IOP measurement was taken using Goldmann applanation tonometry described standard descriptive statistics.Over 200 independent variables were entered into logistic regression analysis significant P-values (P<0.05) multivariable...
