Poorer vision linked to long-term cardiovascular risk
Each 0.1-unit increase on a scale where higher scores mean worse vision was associated with a 5.7% higher relative risk of major cardiovascular events.Each 0.1-unit increase on a scale where higher scores mean worse vision was associated with a 5.7% higher relative risk of major cardiovascular events.

Who was studied111,446 people without major cardiovascular events at baseline, median 14.17 years
What changedMajor cardiovascular event risk was 5.7% higher per 0.1-unit worsening in better-eye vision
The catchVision’s added predictive value and usefulness in clinical care still need evaluation
